Moedim — The Feast Days
The appointed times of the Lord — biblical feast days and their significance for Latter-day Saint scripture study.
The moedim are the appointed times of the Lord: sacred rehearsals that teach deliverance, covenant, remembrance, harvest, and redemption. On this page, we are gathering the feast materials in the order they have been introduced so the sequence feels cumulative rather than scattered.

Featured Feast Days
Presented in the order we have introduced them
פּוּרִים · Feast of Lots

The Feast of Lots, where hidden providence, reversal, and covenant deliverance begin preparing us to recognize God’s hand even when it is not named.
פֶּסַח · Passover
14 Abib / Nisan
The redemption feast of Israel: deliverance through the blood of the lamb, covenant remembrance, and the sacred pattern that culminates in the Pesach Seder.
מַצּוֹת · Feast of Unleavened Bread
15-21 Abib / Nisan
Seven days of separation, humility, and holy haste — the bread of affliction becomes the bread of freedom. Includes the search for leaven, the paradox of matzah, Paul on purging the old leaven, and Alma's Nephite Seder connection.
בִּכּוּרִים · Feast of Firstfruits
16 Abib / Nisan
The Feast of Firstfruits, fulfilled on Resurrection morning and tied to harvest, consecration, and the promise that Christ is the firstfruits of them that slept.
שָׁבֻעוֹת · Feast of Weeks / Pentecost
6 Sivan (50 days after Passover)
From Sinai to Bountiful — the wheat harvest feast that commemorates the giving of Torah, the descent of the Spirit at Pentecost, and Christ's delivery of the higher law at the temple. Includes the Beatitudes side-by-side, the Book of Ruth, and traditional recipes.
