Jesus was Jewish. He went to synagogue "as was his tradition" and celebrated holy days such as Passover. But Jesus also healed on the Sabbath. Jesus points us to a God who is able to work within institutions and order, a God who is too big to be confined. God is constantly coloring outside the lines. Jesus challenges the structures that oppress and exclude, and busts through any traditions that put limitations on love. Love cannot be harnessed. ~ Shane Claiborne
Holy Days quotes by Shane Claiborne
I have enormous pride in the survival of the Jewish people, the cultural heritage of the Jewish people, but I'm not observant, and I don't belong to a synagogue. I don't go to temple on high holy days, but I'm proud to be Jewish. ~ Erica Jong
Holy Days quotes by Erica Jong
St. Patrick's Day is a holy day for Roman Catholics in Ireland to pray and a day for drunk people to vomit with their pants down in New Jersey. ~ Margot Leitman
Holy Days quotes by Margot Leitman
College football was a religion in Alabama, and Saturdays in the fall were holy days. ~ Lexi George
Holy Days quotes by Lexi George
Thanksgiving and Christmas then, for us who love God, are not mere time outs from work days. They are a celebration of the gift of work itself, days on which we celebrate work by declaring our freedom. In a manner of speaking we announce that on this one day we may rest from our work, and without pressure or guilt, we may be glad. A holiday is a holy day-meant for rejoicing in God. ~ Elisabeth Elliot
Holy Days quotes by Elisabeth Elliot
A truth of the gospel is not a truth until you live it. You do not really believe in tithing until you pay it. The word of wisdom to you is not a truth of the gospel until you keep it. The Sabbath day is not a holy day unless you observe it ... A friend is not a friend unless you defend him. ~ Harold B. Lee
Holy Days quotes by Harold B. Lee
Corporations create wealth and define how it is shared. They define working conditions, salary, wages, and benefits. Holy days used to be defined by the church, but now it is the corporation that defines for the workforce which days are holidays. Politicians have to win the approval of corporations in the same way that kings, centuries earlier, had to win the blessing of the church. ~ Ron Davison
Holy Days quotes by Ron Davison
And where are we told in the Scriptures that we are to keep the first day at all? We are commanded to keep the seventh; but we are nowhere commanded to keep the first day ... The reason why we keep the first day of the week holy instead of the seventh is for the same reason that we observe many other things, not because the Bible, but because the church has enjoined it. ~ Isaac Williams
Holy Days quotes by Isaac Williams
The holy days are the best times to focus on real enthusiasm, the inner source that lightens and sanctifies our lives all year. ~ Martha Beck
Holy Days quotes by Martha Beck
I have observed friendships as one observes high holy days: breathtakingly short, whirlwinds of intimate behavior, frenzied carousing, the sharing of food, of wine, of honey. Compressed, always, and gone as soon as they come. ~ Max Gladstone
Holy Days quotes by Max Gladstone
It is well to have specifically holy places, and things, and days, for, without these focal points or reminders, the belief that all is holy and "big with God" will soon dwindle into a mere sentiment. But if these holy places, things, and days cease to remind us, if they obliterate our awareness that all ground is holy and every bush (could we but perceive it) a Burning Bush, then the hallows begin to do harm. ~ C.S. Lewis
Holy Days quotes by C.S. Lewis
Blessed be God's name? Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled. Because He caused thousands of children to burn in His mass graves? Because he kept six crematoria working day and night, including Sabbath and the Holy Days? Because in His great might, He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death? How could I say to Him: Blessed be Thou, Almighty, Master of the Universe, who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as our fathers, our mothers, our brothers, end up in the furnaces? Praised be Thy Holy Name, for having chosen us to be slaughtered on Thine altar? ~ Elie Wiesel
Holy Days quotes by Elie Wiesel
The nation, like the church, has its visible symbols and insignia, its parchments engrossed with the revealed word, its dogmas, hymns, liturgy, holy day celebrations, its early Fathers, prophets and martyrs, its priesthood and its lay sodality, its myths of sacred genesis and apocalyptic crises, its world-saving mission and its missionaries. ~ Michael Parenti
Holy Days quotes by Michael Parenti
In 1949, Saul was thirteen. Never before had he seen his father cry. Suddenly, he realized that what he took to be his home - a two-bedroom apartment in a newly renovated brick building above Gertel's bakery - was to his father no more than a prop on someone else's stage, which could at any moment be struck and carried into the wings. In its absence, home was in the rhythm of the halakhah: the daily prayer, the weekly Sabbath, the annual holy days. In time was their culture. In time, not in space, was their home. ~ Chloe Benjamin
Holy Days quotes by Chloe  Benjamin
Football is a religion and Saturday is the holy day of obligation. ~ Bob Ufer
Holy Days quotes by Bob Ufer
Shall we be destined to the days of eternity, on holy-days, as well as working-days, to be showing the relics of learning, as monks do the relics of their saints - without working one - one single miracle with them? ~ Laurence Sterne
Holy Days quotes by Laurence Sterne
In Abercorn things are very profane, they do not celebrate Sundays and holy days. . . . It is a shame that Sundays are esteemed so little by most people in Christendom. Some of them drone it away loosely, others [the freethinkers] believe it is a day like other days, even though our dear God has promised to bless it if it is celebrated in the right way as, thank God, many people in Christendom and also among us can say from experience. May our dear God restrain all desecrations of the Sabbath and avert the judgments which are to come upon Christianity because of it. ~ Johann Martin Boltzius
Holy Days quotes by Johann Martin Boltzius
The soul lets no man go without some visitations and holy-days of a diviner presence. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Holy Days quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A man who under the influence of mental pain or unbearably oppressive suffering sends a bullet through his own head is called a suicide; but for those who give freedom to their pitiful, soul-debasing passions in the holy days of spring and youth there is no name in man's vocabulary. After the bullet follows the peace of the grave: ruined youth is followed by years of grief and painful recollections. He who has profaned his spring will understand the present condition of my soul. I am not yet old, or grey, but I no longer live. Psychiaters tell us that a solider, who was wounded at Waterloo, went mad, and afterwards assured everybody - and believed it himself - that he had died at Waterloo, and that what was now considered to be him was only his shadow, a reflection of the past. I am now experiencing something resembling this semi-death.. ~ Anton Chekhov
Holy Days quotes by Anton Chekhov
A husband or wife did not have the right either to demand sex from his or her spouse or to refuse it, and there was a catalogue of forbidden sexual practices, notably homosexuality, bestiality, certain sexual positions, masturbation, the use of aphrodisiacs, and oral sex, which could incur a penance of three years' duration. Nor were people to make love on Sundays, holy days, or feast days, or during Lent, pregnancy, or menstruation. People believed that if these rules were disobeyed, deformed children or lepers might result. ~ Alison Weir
Holy Days quotes by Alison Weir
The cross was two pieces of dead wood; and a helpless, unresisting Man was nailed to it; yet it was mightier than the world, and triumphed, and will ever triumph over it. ~ Augustus William Hare
Holy Days quotes by Augustus William Hare
One of the most beautiful sights in my neighborhood is on High Holy Days when people walk to temple. Not only does this bring the traditional legendary weather, but it gives off a psychic signal to slow down. ~ George Vecsey
Holy Days quotes by George Vecsey
Have you been working on Sunday? Have you been buying or selling without necessity in the course of this holy day? Give to the poor some alms which will exceed the profit you have made. ~ John Vianney
Holy Days quotes by John Vianney
He sees no need for setting apart one day in seven as a holy day, since to him all days are God's. ~ Charles Eastman
Holy Days quotes by Charles Eastman
Earth Day is the first holy day ... and is devoted to the harmony of nature ... The celebration offends no historical calendar, yet it transcends them all. ~ Margaret Mead
Holy Days quotes by Margaret Mead
To me, everyday is an observance of a 'holy day' for 'this is the day the Lord has made' and as such I do not observe high nor 'low' Holy days."

~R. Alan Woods {2013] ~ R. Alan Woods
Holy Days quotes by R. Alan Woods
Folks, I've been straight for seventeen days ... Not all in a row. ~ Sam Kinison
Holy Days quotes by Sam Kinison
And how do trees register that the warmer days are because of spring and not late summer? The appropriate reaction is triggered by a combination of day length and temperature. Rising temperatures mean it's spring. Falling temperatures mean it's fall. Trees are aware of that as well. And that's why species such as oaks or beeches, which are native to the Northern Hemisphere, adapt to reversed cycles in the Southern Hemisphere if they are exported to New Zealand and planted there. And what this proves as well, by the way, is that trees must have a memory. How else could they inwardly compare day lengths or count warm days? ~ Peter Wohlleben
Holy Days quotes by Peter Wohlleben
Many people in Europe and the U.S. dispute the thesis that we are living through a clash of civilisations between Islam and the west. But a radical minority of Muslims firmly believes that Islam is under siege, and is committed to winning the holy war it has declared against the West. ~ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Holy Days quotes by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
If you ask me teachers really suck... but what doesn't suck is the knowledge you have these days a lot of which is free which mean that you can put it in practice. ~ Deyth Banger
Holy Days quotes by Deyth Banger
13Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. ~ Anonymous
Holy Days quotes by Anonymous
I look back on my life like a good day's work, it was done and I am satisfied with it. ~ Grandma Moses
Holy Days quotes by Grandma Moses
Ad they entered Berlin, while still killing off the last of its German defenders, The Russians indulged in an orgy of rape and rage beyond the bounds of human Imagination. Over the course of ten days, about 130,000 women were raped
~ Andrei Cherny
Holy Days quotes by Andrei Cherny
We receive the authority when we are born again. As we are made new creatures in Christ Jesus, we inherit the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and we can use it in prayer against the enemy. ~ Kenneth E. Hagin
Holy Days quotes by Kenneth E. Hagin
She said she knew she was able to fly because when she came down she always had dust on her fingers from touching the light bulbs. ~ J.D. Salinger
Holy Days quotes by J.D. Salinger
The day you start giving importance to the life of even a little fly, you turn into a holy man! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Holy Days quotes by Mehmet Murat Ildan
Renewal is brought by the Holy Spirit. Believers will learn what it means to minister to one another and build each other up. No longer will our lives seem ordinary and indistinguishable from the rest of the world. ~ Billy Graham
Holy Days quotes by Billy Graham
I was one of Them: the Strange Ones. The Funny People. The Odd Tribes of autograph collectors and photographers. The Ones who waited through long days and nights, who used other people's dreams for their lives. ~ Ray Bradbury
Holy Days quotes by Ray Bradbury
These days, it's better to look poor and be safe, than look rich and be a victim. ~ Anthony Liccione
Holy Days quotes by Anthony Liccione
I think the nicest thing about days is their unexpectedness. It's jolly to wake up like this on a golden-fine morning and day-dream for ten minutes before I get up, imagining heaps of splendid things that might happen. ~ L.M. Montgomery
Holy Days quotes by L.M. Montgomery
Regardless of all the black-letter days you might have to endure, there's always a red one waiting for you. ~ Jay McLean
Holy Days quotes by Jay McLean
Awake

Shake dreams from your hair
My pretty child, my sweet one.
Choose the day and
choose the sign of your day
The day's divinity
First thing you see.
A vast radiant beach
in a cool jeweled moon
Couples naked race down by it's quiet side
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the woolly cotton brains of infancy
The music and voices are all around us.
Choose, they croon, the Ancient Ones
The time has come again
Choose now, they croon,
Beneath the moon
Beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest
Enter the hot dream
Come with us
Everything is broken up and dances. ~ The Doors
Holy Days quotes by The Doors
Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Remember that no talent, no self-denial, no brains, no character, are required to set up in the fault-finding business. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the menial forces of hate, jealously, and envy. ~ Og Mandino
Holy Days quotes by Og Mandino
The worst days are when you feel foggy in the head - chemo-brain they call it. It's awful because you feel boring. As well as bored. And stupid. And resigned. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Holy Days quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Potato fucking poe-tah-toe. God your're testy. Are you on the rag? I tell you what, grab a Midol, and a brownie and call me in five to seven days. ~ Salsbury JB
Holy Days quotes by Salsbury JB
Wars should be over in three days or less ... and the American people must be all for it from the outset. ~ Evan Thomas
Holy Days quotes by Evan Thomas
These days her entire life was about making people believe she was someone she wasn't anymore. ~ Jodi Picoult
Holy Days quotes by Jodi Picoult
Things that are holy are revealed only to men who are holy ... ~ Hippocrates
Holy Days quotes by Hippocrates
I don't think you should write something as long as a novel around anything that is not of the gravest concern to you and everybody else and for me this is always the conflict between an attraction for the Holy and the disbelief in it that we breathe in with the air of the times. ~ Flannery O'Connor
Holy Days quotes by Flannery O'Connor
So many of our prayers are self-centered grocery lists of personal cravings that have no bigger agenda than to make our lives a little more comfortable. They tend to treat God more as our personal shopper than a holy and wise Father-King. Such prayers forget God's glory and long for a greater experience of the glories of the created world. They lack fear, reverence, wonder, and worship. They're more like pulling up the divine shopping site than bowing our knees in adoration and worship. They are motivated more by awe of ourselves and our pleasures than by a heart-rattling, satisfaction-producing awe of the Redeemer to whom we are praying. ~ Paul David Tripp
Holy Days quotes by Paul David Tripp
The lights burn bright for those who obey; the others will live in shadow all the days of their lives (The Book of Shhh, Psalm 17). ~ Lauren Oliver
Holy Days quotes by Lauren Oliver
Frederick's wit was impressive. When a descendant of Ghengis Khan, who was wreaking havoc in the Muslim world, wrote threateningly that the holy Roman Emperor should surrender his lands and come to his court to become one of his vassals, Frederick replied that he'd think about it and to please hold open the position of falconer. ~ Nancy Goldstone
Holy Days quotes by Nancy Goldstone
We ended the day and hobbled back inside, greeted by the scent of the stew Laadan had cooked up. I went upstairs to wash the day's worth of grime off, and Aiden followed.

Once inside the room, I tossed him a coy look over my shoulder. At least, I thought it was coy, but I probably looked like I had something in my eye.

Aiden grinned nonetheless.

"Are you following me?" I asked, kicking off my boots.

He prowled forward, moving like one of those caged panthers we'd seen at the zoo. "I'm just being here for you, and I think you really need me right now."

"Ha. Ha." Out of my shoes, Aiden towered over me, I felt like a hobbit standing in front of him.

Aiden's grin spread and a dimple in his left cheek appeared. He tucked a strand of my hair back, then his hands dropped and he tugged the shirt out of my cargos. "I think you called it 'manning up'."

This wasn't the kind of manning up I'd been talking about the night before, because even with my limited knowledge of such things, he excelled in that department. But I said nothing as I stared up at him.

Lowering his head, his lips brushed over mine. I was sure I tasted of dirt and sour apple, courtesy of the Blow Pop I'd been nursing earlier, but he made this sound against my mouth, part growl and part something deeper. As the kiss deepened, like he could just devour the taste and feel, I melted against him.

"I really like your idea of ma ~ Jennifer L. Armentrout
Holy Days quotes by Jennifer L. Armentrout
The cat joined the Re-education Committee and was very active in it for some days. She was seen one dag sitting on a roof and talking to some sparrows who were just out of her reach. She was telling them that all animals were now comrades and that any sparrow who chose could come and perch on her paw; but the sparrows kept their distance. ~ George Orwell
Holy Days quotes by George Orwell
The poet dreams of the mountain
Sometimes I grow weary of the days, with all their fits and starts.
I want to climb some old gray mountains, slowly, taking
The rest of my lifetime to do it, resting often, sleeping
Under the pines or, above them, on the unclothed rocks.
I want to see how many stars are still in the sky
That we have smothered for years now, a century at least.
I want to look back at everything, forgiving it all,
And peaceful, knowing the last thing there is to know.
All that urgency! Not what the earth is about!
How silent the trees, their poetry being of themselves only.
I want to take slow steps, and think appropriate thoughts.
In ten thousand years, maybe, a piece of the mountain will fall. ~ Mary Oliver
Holy Days quotes by Mary Oliver
She's a mystery, a cipher, something nearly extinct these days: a person not controlled by ambition or greed or a crass need for attention, but by a desire to experience life completely and to make life a little easier for the people around her ~ Rebecca Miller
Holy Days quotes by Rebecca Miller
I would imagine that most of my writing is done spontaneously. I had no intention of writing, and then I'll just walk through the house, and I'll hear this melody, and I'll turn on the tape players and go back to it later on. Some days I'll get 3-5 songs a day. ~ Andrae Crouch
Holy Days quotes by Andrae Crouch
I'm motivated by fear. Fear of fear. I hate being scared to do something. And I think what developed in my early days was the attitude that I started attacking things that I was scared of. ~ Will Smith
Holy Days quotes by Will Smith
To be successful, all you have to do is work half-days; you can work the first twelve hours or the second twelve hours. ~ Don Shula
Holy Days quotes by Don Shula
If I didn't forgive the people who took me into the barracks and beat me unconscious over a period of days during the period when the British state was indicted for inhuman and degrading treatment in 1971-72, or even the guys who shot me, if you don't forgive them, you end up with unnecessary baggage. ~ Gerry Adams
Holy Days quotes by Gerry Adams
In many ways the effect of the crash on embezzlement was more significant than on suicide. To the economist embezzlement is the most interesting of crimes. Alone among the various forms of larceny it has a time parameter. Weeks, months, or years may elapse between the commission of the crime and its discovery. (This is a period, incidentally, when the embezzler has his gain and the man who has been embezzled, oddly enough, feels no loss. There is a net increase in psychic wealth.) At any given time there exists an inventory of undiscovered embezzlement in - or more precisely not in - the country's businesses and banks. This inventory - it should perhaps be called the bezzle - amounts at any moment to many millions of dollars. It also varies in size with the business cycle. In good times people are relaxed, trusting, and money is plentiful. But even though money is plentiful, there are always many people who need more. Under these circumstances the rate of embezzlement grows, the rate of discovery falls off, and the bezzle increases rapidly. In depression all this is reversed. Money is watched with a narrow, suspicious eye. The man who handles it is assumed to be dishonest until he proves himself otherwise. Audits are penetrating and meticulous. Commercial morality is enormously improved. The bezzle shrinks.



Just as the boom accelerated the rate of growth, so the crash enormously advanced the rate of discovery. Within a few days, something close ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
Holy Days quotes by John Kenneth Galbraith
I spend my days trying to remember what only my soul knows but my mind can't comprehend. ~ Raneem Kayyali
Holy Days quotes by Raneem Kayyali
The day's dashed hopes had temporarily reduced her to the childish presumption that someone she loved should, in return for that love, be able to read her mind. ~ Myla Goldberg
Holy Days quotes by Myla Goldberg
My purpose ... to go on with my heart and soul, devoting all my energies to Girl Scouts, and heart and hand with them, we will make our lives and the lives of the future girls happy, healthy and holy. ~ Juliette Gordon Low
Holy Days quotes by Juliette Gordon Low
Gene Autry was a pioneering star in the early days of music, radio, film, television and rodeo performances. I am proud to posthumously honor such an inspiring role model ~ Adam Schiff
Holy Days quotes by Adam Schiff
He is a great enough magician to tap our most common nightmares, daydreams and twilight fancies, but he never invented them either: he found them a place to live, a green alternative to each day's madness here in a poisoned world. We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams. ~ Peter S. Beagle
Holy Days quotes by Peter S. Beagle
The white city of Sarth in the Holy Empire of Sarth they called it but Betrim reckoned they'd get far more folk like himself making port if they added; city of good beer and clean women. ~ Rob J. Hayes
