I am trying to figure out what specifically did the writers define as Festival days or Holy-days.
Was it limmited to the days that the Roman Catholic church and heads of state deemed to be holy outside of scripture?
How does this apply to such days as Christmas and Easter?
Isn't Christmas and Easter considered a Holy day?
These are days set apart and revered by Christians. Does that make them Holy?
I seek to please our wonderful Father and this has been hard to work through.
On one hand I dont want to dishonour God by recognizing these days if it is sin and on the other hand it makes sense to recognize them in a Godly way. Help a brother out.

THERE is no day commanded in scripture to be kept holy under the gospel but the Lord's day, which is the Christian Sabbath.
Festival days, vulgarly called Holy-days, having no warrant in the word of God, are not to be continued.
Nevertheless, it is lawful and necessary, upon special emergent occasions, to separate a day or days for publick fasting or thanksgiving, as the several eminent and extraordinary dispensations of God's providence shall administer cause and opportunity to his people.
