This question is asked on the day that the Jewish holiday Rosh Hashanna, the celebration of the new year, begins in 2024. The institution of the holiday is found in the Book of Leviticus, chapter 33:
> 23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the people of
> Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month,
> you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with
> blast of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall not do any
> ordinary work, and you shall present a food offering to the Lord.”
The gospels depict Jesus as participating in several Jewish holidays but not this one, as far as I know. Based on the New Testament and the writings of the Church Fathers, does this holiday figure in early Christian tradition?
