The Jewish Festivals (Numbers 28-29)

or

The Roman/Pagan Festivals (Janus January 1, Cerealia/Ostara, Beltane/Floralia, Yuletide/Saturnalia) under different names.

    This is false, that's all I'll say. A different name MEANS a different celebration.

    Christian Feasts are Christian. Not Jewish or Pagan.

    I suppose we Christians CAN celebrate the ancient Israelite festivals if we like.  But we have no obligation or requirement or duty to do so.

    By the way, read Colossians 2:16-23, which addresses this question.

    Celebration is in the mind of the celebrant.  

    The whole country doesn't celebrate my birthday on July 4th.

    We have liberality in Christ. You can celebrate both or none if you wish.

    Colossians 2 "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day."
