The Bible Christians of God Observe THE SET FEASTS OF THE LORD
Along with the 7th day (Saturday) weekly Sabbath there are seven high (7 Annual Sabbaths)
Holy gatherings which are held and no work is to be done on these days except for the Passover.
Leviticus the 23rd chapter lists all the Holy Days of God, which he commanded us to observe forever.
Abib / Nisan is the first month of the year according to God's word (Deut 16:1, Ex 12:1-2 Est 3:7) which begin at sundown
for the LORD'S set feast starting from day 1 of Abib aka Nisan a 30 day long count month.
The Set Feast starts from the biblical month called Abib 1 which is 30 days long and the origin of our 30 day per month count.
Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the Lordthy God: for in the month of Abib the Lord thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night. Deut 16:1
Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread: (thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days, as I commanded thee, in the time appointed of the month Abib; for in it thou camest out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me empty:)
Exodus 23:15
HOW IS ABIB DETERMINED
Beginning sundown on Abib 1 until Sundown on the First day of the 7th month a total of 181 days
(6 months of 30 days per month plus the 1st day of the 7th Month)
It is 181 days from the start date The Start of the biblical month Abib which is 30 days to the 1st day of the 7th month (The same count used by the LORD to bring us to the Feast of Tabernacles in Zech 14:1-19 from Rev 11:1-4,15 and Rev 12:6,14 ,13:5 = 42 months, 1260 days equals a 30 days per month count or 360 day year, half a year equals 180 days or two 6 complete months of 30 days each.

This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.2 Chronicles 2:4
