Christian festivals

Religious celebration days

Christian festivals are religious holidays marking events in the life of Jesus Christ and the Christian calendar.

The major festivals include Christmas (celebrating Christ's birth), Easter (his resurrection), and Pentecost (the descent of the Holy Spirit).

Lesser festivals honor saints, the Virgin Mary, or other sacred occasions.

The town square hosts a market during the Christian festivals.
