Summary/Abstract: The article “Liturgical time in the mosaic religion and in the Church of Christ” analyses the direct connection between the mentality of the Jew regarding religion, God and time, and the Christian. Unlike the polytheistic religions, where the source of the devotion was a myth and the time was structured cyclically, the Jewish and Christian religions have their source in time, as persons and events in history, and the time is linear, oriented toward a supreme goal, and the feasts are only gates to heaven, when the believer remembers a historical fact and enters the eternal realities.
