For Christians: does old testament obligate you to obey, this week's holy day?

1, this week the jews have a holy day, to obey book leviticus chapter 23, but as a Christian who included old testament, did the old testament obligate you to obey this holy day, to know the date, and not work etc?

We're not obligated to obey anything. Christianity is a relationship not a religion. So I celebrate Christmas because I choose to remember the Birth of Christ, not because the date is scripturally "accurate". Similarly, I celebrate Easter because I remember the Sacrifice made on my behalf by my Saviour, not because of the date.

When Jesus said if we Love (agape) Him we'll obey His Commandments. Not out of obligation, but because I don't want to do something that would hurt my Friend. Exactly the same that I won't do anything to hurt my son because he's my son and I love him.

The apples dipped in honey sounds appealing.

No, that’s the Old law

The New Testament is what we go by

Christians have a new covenant with God through Christ. Which is why most things celebrated by Christians are new testament related.
