So the lamb lived with the family, it became a part of the family. By the time it was sacrificed for the Passover, it was both cherished and mourned.

Jesus came into the city of Jerusalem five days before the lamb was killed in the temple as the Passover sacrifice.
The number 4 represents creation
The number 5 represents grace
He was on the spot where all those years before Isaac asked Abrahan, “Father where is the lamb?”
And on the spot, God provided a ram stuck in the thorns. Now here was the sacrifice for all mankind wearing a crown of thorns.
They were not looking for a spiritual Savior, but a political savior. Palm branches were a symbol of freedom.
The priest would then announce to the crowd
“it is finished” the last lamb has been sacrificed.
The Passover is to mark the Lord taking His people out of Egypt. And it is a forshadowing of the coming of the Messiah
The first feast is Passover
Feast of Unleavened Bread
Feast of Firstfruits
So they were not allowed to touch the first fruits (the barley) until the First of it had been presented to God at the Temple.
He went back to the Father, with the first resurrected Saints (first fruits) and after He waved them before the Father, He could then come back and say to Thomas, you can touch me now.
Jesus rose on the Day of first fruits. He was the first of the resurrection and of those who will rise.
The feast of first fruits represents our resurrection in Jesus-Christ.

Jesus Christ was crucified on Passover.

He rose on the very day of the Feasts of First fruits.
The Holy Spirit descended on the Church on the day of the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost).
Many see life as little more than the ceaseless, repetitive, and meaningless cycles of summer and winter, life and death, marriage and funerals. That is all that those without the true God will ever know.
HEB 12:1-2, Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The Spring Feasts picture our LORD’s first coming and all four feasts have all been fulfilled by His first coming!

The Feast of First Fruits – His Resurrection, a forshadowing of our resurrection.
The Feast of week or pentecost.
The Fall Feasts picture events surrounding His second coming and they are yet to be fulfilled.
The Feast of Trumpets comes on the New Moon and marks the beginning of the new year on the Jewish calendar.
1 TH 4 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
Feast of Tabernacles
Lev 23: 34
The traditional Easter ham comes from Tammuz, the son of the widow of Nimrod who was killed by a wild boar, a pig.
To proclaim her divine authority, she changed a bird into an egg laying rabbit.
Satan is a master deceiver, and has filled the lives of well-meaning, professing Christians with idolatry.
EZE 8:14-15, Then He brought me to the entrance of the gate of the Lord’s house which was toward the north; and behold, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz. He said to me, Do you see this, son of man? Yet you will see still greater abominations than these.
MAT 6:17-18, But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
MAR 7:7, In vain do they worship me, teaching doctrines of men.
1JO 5:19-21, We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true…Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
2 Co 2:11, Don’t act in ways that allow Satan to get an advantage of us: for we believers are not ignorant of his devices or his ways.
Satan has this policy, stop man from believing in the salvation of the Messiah and if he does stop him from becoming effective.
