The PASSOVER is a memorial of Christ's sacrifice for our sins. He was scourged and crucified on that day in 31 AD. However, on the night before his capture, He gave the Apostles and all in His Church the NEW PASSOVER for us to keep annually in remembrance of Him which can be read in the Gospels.
The FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD pictures our putting sin away and our constant need to obey God.
The PENTECOST pictures the spiritual 'begettal' and the maturing of the 1st fruits of God's plan of Salvation. It was the start of the Church of God in 31 AD.
The FEAST OF TRUMPETS pictures the return of Jesus Christ to raise the 1st fruits to immortality and to setup God's government on Earth.
The DAY OF ATONEMENT pictures deposing, removing, and binding of Satan for 1,000 years.
The FEAST OF TABERNACLES pictures a millennial rest with Satan bound and Christ and His 1st fruits ruling the Earth with God's Law written on their hearts and peace and happiness in God's way of life.
The LAST GREAT DAY pictures the judgement when the vast majority of humanity will be resurrected to mortal life again and GIVEN their opportunity for Salvation like those who are called in their lifetimes (John 6:44;65) and those living in the Millennium.
These are God's Feasts and were kept by Jesus and the Apostles and are to be kept forever (Leviticus 23).

Are the prophecies of the coming of the Messiah fulfilled in the person of Jesus Christ?

Scores of other prophecies about Christ are about to be fulfilled in a few years from now when he returns.

Why do you not celebrate the Feast of the Tabernacle or other feasts mentioned in the Old Testament?
Christians are under the New Covenant established by Christ. Christians consider the Old Covenant to have been fulfilled by Christ and therefore that it is not necessary to observe ceremonial (which is very different from moral) laws that distinguished Israel from all other nations. Those laws, in the Christian view, have served their purpose and are no longer necessary. (This is not the same thing as changing the law - there was no change. Christ fulfilled the requirements of the law once and for all - it is no longer necessary to keep the observances just as it is not necessary to keep plowing after your garden is already planted and growing.) Feasts were often required by the Law. The observance of the Feast of Tabernacle falls within this category as do most of the other Feasts/holidays mentioned in the Old Testament. Hence, the Feasts are treated as ceremonial laws by Christians and not usually observed. It should be noted, however, that some Christians and many Messianic Jews do maintain some of the Old Testament observances (none relating to Atonement are observed by either group). They are the minority but they do exist.
Why don't Christians celebrate Passover They use Passover to figure out when to have Easter But why don't they have a Seder?
The Christian equivalent of Passover is Easter where Jesus is the sacrificial lamb and the Lord's Supper is the Seder. Christians believe the Old Testament feasts were all pointing to an ultimate fulfillment in Christ. The Old Testament feast days were broken up into 2 cycles-- the spring season are 4 feasts grouped together taking place within 50 days--a summer break to prepare for the fall harvest season and the 3 fall feasts. The 4 spring feasts found in Lev.23 were fulfilled in Jesus' first coming and He fulfills the three autumn holidays in his 2nd coming. This why they are grouped in this order. The fall feasts are, feast of trumpets, Day of atonement, feasts of Booths or gatherings, all to be fulfilled in his 2nd coming (taking place in a 2 week period). Jesus fulfilled these feasts by his life and ministry. The unleaven bread- was Christ' life with no sin. The Passover - Christ sacrificed as the lamb. The first-fruits- His resurrection 3 days after the Passover. Pentecost-Jesus sending the Holy Spirit within 50 days of the Passover. All of these were fulfilled in Jesus' first coming. Jesus fulfilled the 4 spring holidays in his first coming and fulfills the three autumn feasts in his 2nd coming. The fall feasts are, feast of trumpets, Day of atonement, feasts of Booths or ingatherings, which takes place in a 2 week period
