Feast of First Fruits

The Feast of First Fruits is an ancient Jewish holiday marking the beginning of the harvest season, typically celebrated during the barley harvest. It involved offering the first sheaf of ripe grain to God as a symbol of gratitude and trust in His provision. This festival also marked the beginning of a series of harvest festivals and was originally linked to spiritual renewal and acknowledgment of God's blessing. Today, it is observed in various ways within Jewish tradition and is sometimes referenced in Christian contexts as symbolic of new beginnings and spiritual abundance.
