Dear Ian,
     Yes, there were more than three special occasions in the Jewish
liturgical year, but Deut 16:16 clarifies that there were three times a
year when the men needed to come to Jerusalem:

Deut. 16:16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before Jehovah
thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened
bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles; and they
shall not appear before Jehovah empty:

                                        Yours,
                                        Harold Holmyard
