• But why try to put together any kind or religious program during the last week of Mardi Gras?  Whoever came up with that idea must have been crazy?  It was Jesus Himself who said it in 1938, to Mother Mary Pierina, of the Daughters of the Immaculate Conception, “I have given my Heart as a physical sign of my great love for man, and I give My Face as a physical sign of my sorrows for the sins of man.   I desire that it be honored by a special feast on Tuesday in Quinquagesima (Mardi Gras Day).   The feast will be proceeded by a novena in which the faithful make reparation with me, uniting themselves with My sorrow. ”  Mardi Gras has an undeniable religious dimension to it, for it begins on the feast of Epiphany and ends the day before Ash Wednesday. ...

• Just as the very event of the Nativity of John the Baptist was the antechamber of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, so also the feast of the Nativity of John the Forerunner is also the antechamber of the feast of the Nativity of Christ. "The star of stars, the Forerunner, is born on earth today, from a barren womb, John the beloved of God, and manifests the dawning of Christ, the Orient from on high" (Glory at Lauds, of the Feast, June 24). ... "O Prophet and Forerunner of the coming of Christ, we who venerate thee with love, are in perplexity how worthily to praise thee; for the barrenness of her who bore thee and the dumbness of thy father are loosed by thy glorious and precious nativity, and the incarnation of the Son of God is preached to the world" (Troparion of the Feast).

• The Feast of Trumpets .
• And as the Feast of Trumpets, the next of God's Festivals, occurs on the very first day of the seventh month, we may understand it to picture the ushering in of the final events of His plan. Notice God's original command to ancient Israel concerning this Holy Day: "In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation" (Lev. ... These silver trumpets were also blown on the Feast of Trumpets. ... But on the Feast of Trumpets, something else was regularly sounded. ... It is this dire warning that sets the Feast of Trumpets apart from God's other Festivals and gives this joyous occasion a contrasting note of solemnity. Let's not forget that the greatest time of war, chaos and world upheaval is yet ahead of us! Notice this inspired prophecy from the book of Joel: "Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of the LORD is coming, for it is at hand: a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, like the morning clouds spread over the mountains. ...

• THE FEAST OF PENTECOST.
• The Feast of Pentecost was the second of Israel’s three annual Feasts. As the Scriptures reveal, the Feast is also called the Feast of Harvest, of Firstfruits, or of Weeks. ... 23:15,16 will reveal why the Feast is called Fiftieth. It was because the Feast began on the fiftieth day after the Passover sabbath, or "the morrow after the seventh sabbath. ... Then He departed into Heaven, and after ten days (at the time of Israel’s Feast of Pentecost), He sent forth the Holy Ghost upon the waiting disciples.
• Pentecost! What a vast subject looms before us as we contemplate the tremendous implications of the word! Many books have been written on the power and glory of this Feast, and men who have appropriated in some measure the experience of Pentecost have proved by the Word and by experience its reality, and the Word has been confirmed with signs following. We could not begin to adequately explain the meaning of the Feast in this study, nor is it our intention to do so. Our prime concern is to prepare to ground for truth concerning the Feast of Tabernacles, which surpasses the glory of Pentecost even as the noon-day surpasses the glory of early dawn. How strange, it seems, that good men of God who have discerned by the Spirit the fulfillment of Passover and Pentecost in the Church, should now close the door to further revelation and deny that the last Feast has any application to our day and age! At the turn of this century, when God began to restore pentecost--and right up to the present time, many evangelical circles have gone to considerable trouble in an attempt to prove that Pentecost was an event of ancient history, and that its power and glory were not for present-day experience. ... And even then, let us not stop at the fullness of Pentecost, but let us go on to appropriate and experience the glories of the Feast of Tabernacles--for which Pentecost has paved the way.
• That was Pentecost in the early hours of dawn; the Church must go on to the Pentecost of the noon-day sun; and then on, and on, and on to the Feast of Tabernacles, which will utterly eclipse the glory of any people in any past dispensation. ...
• Having a historical record of the actual fulfillment of the Feast, it is comparatively easy for us to look back into the type, and see exactly what it was intended to signify.
