Duran, Maybe think about the fact that Jesus is depicted as celebrating Hanukah. The Temple lights filled the night. That was not a celebration directed in the OT.
Also consider, when the last supper (Passover according to Synoptic Gospels) is described, it is not according to the directions in Exodus but followed traditions adapted from Greek Symposium tradition. The Talmud accommodates these changes on the grounds that the situation had changed. They were no longer slaves. Rather than hastily eat standing with sandals on and staff in hand, the now ate relaxed and reclining on a couch. They used wine, which was forbidden as the prohibition against yeast or any product of yeast in the homes and defied the theme of haste. The multiple cups of wine and singing are all later traditions not in the OT. They also no longer put blood on doorposts which was directed. The point is an honest look at the NT stories and epistles reveals not an obsession with the past or a literal interpretation of the OT but an evolving living faith with people adapting to new circumstances and cultural influences.
Happy Holidays
