There is nothing dangerous about celebrating the Feast that God established for His people to celebrate, which prophetically proclaims His Son's Sacrifice, Burial, and Resurrection.
What is dangerous though, is adding to it mens traditions, or replacing God's commandments for mens traditions, and then try to condemn others, whom God does not condemn, even using ungodly fear to try to scare them from obeying God's Holy Word and discourage people from obeying God's insrtuctions.
Some even go so far as adding pagan worship practices and symbols, to their version of God's Holy Feast... like eggs and rabbits...I witnessed the tradition of passing out hard-boiled eggs died in red food coloring, at the celebration of "Easter" which they called "Pascha", at a local Antiochian Greek Orthodox Chruch near where I live....why bother with the heathen's way, when you can enjoy the way of God, as He established it?
The Feast of Passover, includes the Feast of First-Fruits (the third day after Passover day) upon which Yahshua rose from among the dead, this took place on the 17th day of the 1st month.
And yes...GOD tells us that the Feast is ALWAYS to be held, starting upon the 14th day of the 1st month, of the Hebrew calendar, between the evenings, and it is to be celebrated by His people forever.
GOD, in His Holy Word teaches:
Exodus 12:14 "And this day shall be to you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a Feast to MARYAH throughout your generations; you shall keep it a Feast by an ordinance for ever." (How long???)
Exodus 12:18 "In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening."
Leviticus 23:5 "MARYAH's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month."
Numbers 28:16 "On the fourteenth day of the first month MARYAH's Passover is to be held."
Joshua 5:10 "On the evening of the fourteenth day of the month, while camped at Gilgal on the plains of Jericho, the Israelites celebrated the Passover."
Ezekiel 45:21 "In the first month on the fourteenth day you are to observe the Passover, a feast lasting seven days, during which you shall eat bread made without yeast."
Matthew 26:17 "On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to YAHSHUA and asked, "Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
Mark 14:12 "On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
