That was the old testament law. In truth we should keep all days holy. But, look into the new testament. Jesus did not come to change the laws but to fulfill them. God sent his only begotten Son to save us. We could never make it to heaven on our own good deeds or by following the laws and remaining holy. So, the laws had to be fulfilled through the blood of Jesus Christ. He died for our sin debt. The old testament is still followed in Jewish faith. As Christians we are to believe and have faith in Jesus. He is the law, the truth and the light. Celebrate Jesus everyday.

The question is "Did the Messiah erase the 'old testament'"? The answer is no. Matt 5:17 tells us that He did not come to do away with the Law. He always did those things that were pleasing to the father John 8:29. The scriptures that He had was the Old Testament, and He followed it perfectly, and He is our example. The feast days you mentioned, plus Pentecost, and the Day of Atonement. (Hanukkah is optional, and Purim)

No. The holy or feast days (Passover, unleavened bread, First fruits, Pentecost, Atonement, Trumpets, Tabernacles) were for the Israelite nation only. Nowhere in Scripture are Gentiles and Christians told to keep these days. The only "feast" day that will be carried over into the millennium is Tabernacles.
Zec 14:16 And it shall be, everyone who is left from all the nations which came up against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, Jehovah of Hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.
Zec 14:17 And it shall be, whoever will not go up from the families of the earth to Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of Hosts, there shall even be no rain on them.

If you consider yourself to be "His" you had better be doing what He said to do. Yeshua didn't change one jot or tittle, as it was not his place to do.
A question for some of the answerers who hate the feasts of YHVH (they aren't "Jewish" feasts) is "What was the covenant made at Mount Sinai?" They don't know!
The Feasts of YHVH are to be observed as long as the heavens and the earth exist, and only ignorant outsiders to the real faith of Yeshua would ever consider these feasts to be a thing of the past. It all comes from the gross ignorance, on the part of the church, to exactly what the original covenant was. Also...the "new covenant" isn't really "new". The word that has been translated as "new" actually means "renewed". Nothing has changed and the church had better get a grip on that fact before they have to answer for their disobedience.
Yep christians, your pastors are leading you down the WIDE ROAD. They are blind guides and you had better stop following them or you will fall into the pit with them.

Feasts rule all over the place. I can't see why anyone WOULDN'T want to honour as many as possible.
I personally, observe all the feasts you mention for one simple reason, GOD said we were supposed to and didn't say otherwise. The scripture that is commonly quoted in this answer were neither Jesus's nor GOD's words. I'll stick with what the Man said and go from there, thanks. :D

Colossians 2:13-17:
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your sinful nature, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; he took it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross. Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ.

"Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality, however, is found in Christ. "
Colossians 2:16-17
"Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters. One man's faith allows him to eat everything, but another man, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables. The man who eats everything must not look down on him who does not, and the man who does not eat everything must not condemn the man who does, for God has accepted him. Who are you to judge someone else's servant? To his own master he stands or falls. And he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
One man considers one day more sacred than another; another man considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who regards one day as special, does so to the Lord. He who eats meat, eats to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains, does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. "
Romans 14:1-8

There are no Holy days, Pete.
The Bible is a mythical book that you can't prove is true.
Stop wasting your time...however, I certainly am in favor of any celebration involving an open bar, dancing and lots of hot, partially drunk females.
The feast of trumpets sounds cool. We could update it to the Feast of Electric Guitars.

When the new law came the old shadows faded away for reality.
And the curtain in the temple was torn open as the heart of Christ was pierced on the cross.

I believe those Holy days were given only to Israel as part of the old covenant Christ fulfilled those Holy days with the start of the new covenant.
