What is a Lunar Holiday?

Answer 1

I've never heard the term. Usually, you hear the "lunar calendar". The Moslem calendar is the only real lunar calendar still in use today. Other so-called lunar calendars are actually lunar-solar calendars; month length is determined by the moon, but year length is determined by the sun. The Moslem calendar moves around the secular calendar because it is about 11 days shorter; a holiday that is in June one year will be in May 2-3 years later and eventually hit every month.

So, a lunar holiday would presumably be a holiday on either the Moslem calendar or one of the lunar-solar (such as the Chinese or Jewish) calendars.

Answer 2

The Chinese calendar uses the moon (rather than the sun which is used in the Western calendar) to define months, dates, and years. So a "lunar holiday" is generally a holiday in the Chinese calendar. Here are the major lunar holidays:

Chinese New Year - Yushui 1
Double-Ninth Festival - Shuangjiang 9
Dragon Boat Festival - Xiazhi 5
Ghost Festival - Chushu 15
Lantern Festival - Yushui 15
Mid-Autumn Festival - Qiufen 15

Answer 3

I think its a holiday where the date is set by the shape of the moon. Something like that eg i think rammadan (im not sure) is is set before the first quater of the the moon and ends at the seconfd quarter of the moon.
