Religious calendar highlights
Holy days are days set apart for religious observance or celebration.
In Christianity, holy days mark events like Christmas, Easter, and saints' feast days.
Other religions have their own: Yom Kippur in Judaism, Eid in Islam.
The word holiday derives from holy day, though most holidays are now secular.
