What is Holy Convocation?
The Holy Convocation is an instituted week of atonement to afflict our souls and offer special offerings and sacrifice unto God (Leviticus 23). The week begins January 3 (Tebeth 3) at sunset and ends January10 (Tebeth 10) at sunset. A fast is declared on the 9th day to loose the band of wickedness that we may break every yoke of bondage; and we rejoice in victory on the 10th day with a great feast. No servile work (employment labor) is done for these holy seven days.
