Just to clarify my own posts [previous post in this thread], in case it wasn't clear to the readers 
, I believe the sabbath is always Saturday, and "Firstfruit" (Lev23:10-12) is always a Sunday (and was the day of Jesus' Resurrection).
As to the day Jesus was born, I believe a reasonable case can be made (based on Scripture) that it was likely Tishri 15 (not Tishri 8, which another poster suggested), that is, the first day of Tabernacles (Lev23:34) [and then circumcised the 8th day; "the eighth day" mentioned in Lev23:36], ascertained by viewing the "courses" of the priests (during those days [NT passage]) and that John the Baptist was born 6 months earlier. Also the wording in John 1:14, "and the Word was made flesh, and tabernacled among us"... and I too believe that the purpose of the Zech14 (future) celebration of Tabernacles is due to this (His BD party, so to speak, lol).
I too believe we are free to celebrate it (pr not) at any time

(sure, part of your post prompted me to think of it! so that's good!)Then, I should have drawn I line under that (as I sometimes do) to start the next section addressing the subject of the thread (not anything in your post). My apologies if it seemed I was "answering" YOU (and a question you WEREN'T ASKING. lol). I wasn't.
Thanks.

I wasn't answering any question I perceived you to be posing, I was clarifying my previous posts in case anyone reading may have misunderstood my post to be saying that the sabbath CHANGED to Sunday (after His resurrection), which I don't believe. I was just clarifying.
