Colosians 2:16-17 provides the best actual instruction of what the Sabbath is in the New Testament era. The rule is simple - we are not to judge each other with regard to it or how we annually celebrate and worship Christ.
My interpretation is that both are optional and a place of grace. If people want to do ghe Sabbath on a sundown-sundown on Saturday, OK. If people want to take a Sabbath once a month, OK. if people want to do a Sabbath on Sunday, or Monday, or Tuesday...OK.
The annual feasts are similar. If people want to do the Old Testament model, OK. If they want to scrap them and make up new ones to commemorate New Testament events, like the birth of Jesus, that is OK too.
But in all things, Colosians 2:16-17 gives us grace and freedom in Christ in these matters.
