Holidays

The True Jesus Church maintains a nuanced stance toward religious holidays. The church encourages observance of biblical feasts and festivals found in the Old Testament, particularly Passover and other Jewish observances that commemorate God's redemptive acts. These festivals are seen as having perpetual significance and are incorporated into the church's liturgical calendar where possible.

In contrast, Christmas and Easter—holidays of extra-biblical origin and pagan association in the church's view—are not uniformly observed across all congregations. Some True Jesus Church communities may observe these holidays culturally or acknowledge them, while others actively discourage their observance as human traditions without biblical warrant. The emphasis falls instead on the Saturday Sabbath, which is observed weekly and is the primary sacred day in the church's calendar.

The church's approach to holidays reflects its restorationist theology: it seeks to recover the worship patterns of the early apostolic church, which observed Jewish feasts and the Sabbath but not Christmas or Easter. This selective liturgical calendar is distinctive and reinforces the church's identity as a restored, biblically-grounded community.
