Today is the Feast of First Fruits–On the day of the feast there would be no servile work. This was also observed on the first day of the week after the last day of Passover which could be any day of the week.  There was a disagreement between the Pharisees and the Sadducees on this feast.  The Pharisees and their rabbinic teachings considered the Passover as a Sabbath, meaning that this feast was to be observed the day after Passover.  The Sadducees had the biblical approach that it was the first day of the week after the day of Passover.  Passover could be any day of the week, but as the Lord gave the Feast of First Fruits, it was to be only on one day which was the first day of the week after Passover.
