Are there any Jehovah's Witness Holidays?

Answer 1

Jehovah's Witnesses commemorate the death of Jesus Christ as commanded by him to do at Luke 22:19. This is done annually on the date of Jesus death according to the ancient Jewish calander.

We do also observe wedding anniversaries, but I am sure that is not what would be really regarded as a "holiday" by most people.

No, there is not. Although there is the memorial of Christ's Death which is Commemorated on Nisan 14.

Answer 2

Jehovah's Witnesses don't observe any holidays for the most part. The closest thing to a holiday that Jehovah's Witnesses observe is the Memorial. The Memorial is a remembrance of the Lord's Evening Meal ("The Last Supper"). The reason Jehovah's Witnesses feel they should observe this day is because in The Bible Jesus says about the Evening Meal, "keep doing this in remembrance of me." The time of the Memorial corresponds to the original Passover instituted by the early Jews. It falls on the Jewish month Nisan, and it is on the 14th day of that month. In this year (2011) it will take place sundown April 17th. Jehovah's Witnesses officially observe it in a predetermined location near where they live. The unleavened bread and the wine is passed around, but only the anointed Christians (it is felt) should partake of them. The anointed Christians are the ones that Jehovah's Witnesses say have the heavenly calling.
