There wasn't any Jewish calendar, in any home that didn't have a circle around the dates that marked the Feast of Passover. Jewish law actually required all the men, from 13 years of age and up, to attend three feasts in Jerusalem - Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles. Custom allowed men who lived far away to attend only one of the three and Passover was typically the favored feast. /Adapted from Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Compassionate: Luke 1-13 (Victor Books, 1989), p. 32 The ceremonies would last 7 days. It's at this very moment in the Jewish calendar, which would have been late March and early April that Luke gives us another glimpse into the boyhood of Jesus.
