Christians call Sukkot the Feast of Tabernacles.
In Zechariah 14:16, the prophet predicts the future, saying that, “Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles.”
And so, in a fulfilment of biblical prophecy, thousands of Christians from around the world come to Jerusalem every year to celebrate the holiday.
Events include a Jerusalem march of Christian supporters of Israel from around the world.
The Christian Succah should have all the fruits of the Spirit and some of the gifts.

We GENTLY restore people to the path of righteousness.
FAITHFULNESS keeps relationships true.
SELF-CONTROL keeps us humble, receptive and dead to sin.

Each person is given a gift (1 Cor 12:7) from a word of wisdom to a miracle. (1 Cor 12:4-11; Rom 12:6-8)
