About

Holy Days Calendar

Features
Read full description

Plan Biblical feast days from the month starts your community follows. Holy Days Calendar helps you prepare for Passover, Shavuot and the Fall appointed times with Scripture references, date explanations and reminders. Choose your Abib 1 sunset date and confirm the seventh-month start separately. YOUR BIBLICAL FEAST CALENDAR Enter the Gregorian date when Abib 1 begins at sunset. Spring feast dates follow that foundation. Fall dates remain projected until you confirm the seventh-month start, so you can distinguish projected dates from dates based on confirmed month starts. PASSOVER THROUGH TABERNACLES Explore Passover, Unleavened Bread, First Fruits, the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), Trumpets, the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), Tabernacles (Sukkot) and the Eighth Day. Open each appointed time to see its Biblical day, sunset start, calculation and supporting Scripture. PREPARE, REMEMBER AND SHARE Browse future years, set optional local reminders, add events to your device calendar and share calendar graphics. Choose sacred-name preferences for your reading. Optional Purim and Feast of Dedication observances are separate from the Leviticus 23 appointed times and are off by default. UNDERSTAND HOW DATES ARE CHOSEN This calendar calculates from the month-start dates you enter. It does not detect the moon or certify one calendar for every community. First Fruits and the Feast of Weeks use the app's reference-calendar count; your community may follow a different counting method. SEVEN-DAY TRIAL AND LIFETIME ACCESS After onboarding, start a seven-day trial of all features or purchase lifetime access. After the trial ends, a lifetime purchase is required to continue. There is no automatic charge. Lifetime access is a one-time purchase with no subscription. See your local price in the store before purchase. Trial availability depends on prior use. Existing eligible purchases retain access.
