LEAST KNOWN
PURIM

• 26(Therefore these days were called Purim, from
  the word pur.) Because of everything written in
  this letter and because of what they had seen and
  what had happened to them, 27the Jews took it
  upon themselves to establish the custom that they
  and their descendants and all who join them
  should without fail observe these two days every
  year, in the way prescribed and at the time
  appointed. 28These days should be remembered and
  observed in every generation by every family, and
  in every province and in every city. And these
  days of Purim should never cease to be celebrated
  by the Jews, nor should the memory of them die
  out. Esther 92628 NIV

MOST IMPORTANT!

• 26While they were eating the Passover, Jesus
  took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it
  to his disciples, saying, Take and eat this is
  my body. 27Then he took the cup, gave thanks
  and offered it to them, saying, Drink from it,
  all of you.  28This is my blood of the covenant,
  which is poured out for many for the forgiveness
  of sins.  29I tell you, I will not drink of this
  fruit of the vine from now on until that day when
  I drink it anew with you in my Fathers kingdom.
  30When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the
  Mount of Olives. Mt. 262630 NIV

First Memorial?

• 13I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is
  the sign of my covenant with you and with all the
  earth. 14When I send clouds over the earth, the
  rainbow will appear in the clouds, 15and I will
  remember my covenant with you and with all living
  creatures. Never again will the floodwaters
  destroy all life. Genesis 913-16

11
Longest Lasting?

• The Sabbath
• 8Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it
  holy. 11For in six days the Lord made the heavens
  and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them,
  but he rested on the seventh day. Exodus 208,11.
  NIV

Least Understood?

• This is a day to remember. Each year, from
  generation to generation, you must celebrate it
  as a special festival to the LORD. This is a law
  for all time.  17Celebrate this Festival of
  Unleavened Bread, for it will remind you that I
  brought your forces out of the land of Egypt on
  this very day. This festival will be a permanent
  law for you celebrate this day from generation
  to generation. Ex. 1211ff.
