For example: Genesis 1:14–1614 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 16 God made two great lights—the greater light …

What Does the Bible Say About Holidays Like Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and Groundhog Day?
A quick look at God’s Word shows that He is definitely into partying.
