Three Pilgrimage Festivals
The Three Pilgrimage Festivals or Three Pilgrim Festivals, sometimes known in English by their Hebrew name Shalosh Regalim (or ), are three major festivals in Judaism—two in spring; Passover, 49 days later Shavuot (literally 'weeks', or Pentecost, from the Greek); and in autumn Sukkot ('tabernacles', 'tents' or 'booths')—when all Israelites who were able were expected to make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem as commanded by the Torah.
