[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]from vague memories of catholic school (im not christian) - in Acts of the apostles, the first one- peter has a vision that tells him that they dont have to follow the Jewish law anymore, until then the early Christians did follow and observe Jewish custom, holidays and laws. In the early days of the church there was a struggle between those who believed in Pauline Christianity ( what you-all believe in) which is open to all who beleve in Christ, their lord God and the  "equivalent of :jews for jesus" today,  A lot of the early hermits and eastern christians are offshoots of those people but they mostly died out. So any ways- Peter the first head of teh Church after Jesus  was told by God that teh Church was a universal church and no longer an off shoot of Judaism, this was argued by Saul/Paul when he had his vision on the road to Damascus and accepted by Peter and completely changed the nature of the Christian Church and you could say the trajectory of the world.

this is my understanding as well. same as why you wouldn’t keep kosher. and of course, holidays have *cultural* significance as well. obviously Passover can never have the same meaning for a Christian. it’s not like holidays are objective rituals anyone can do. they have specific meanings embedded in the religion.
