In Catholicism, the highest holy days are the Triduum which include Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Holy Saturday Easter Vigil.
This is actually one long liturgy:
+ On Holy Thursday, the Last Supper is remembered.
+ On Good Friday, the Crucifixion and Death of Jesus is relived.
+ At the Holy Saturday night Easter Vigil mass, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is celebrated in the most important Mass of the liturgical year.
With love in Christ.

My memory was that of being confirmed Lutheran in a Church owned by the Catholic church. A Catholic priest at the time was present. His name was Karol Józef Wojtyla. Over the years he had written a few letters and had sent me blessings. They have since disappeared. From time to time he would call me. I remember after my confirmation he had given me a watch which has also been lost. Because I have been diagnosed as having dissociative identity disorder it has been easier for others to disclaim any previous recollections as being delusional. Jesus had mentioned about the Hosts and the Great Hosts. Than there is also the question of the seven spirits of God and the seven spirits that were in Mary Magdalene. Sorry, you asked about the Holy Days. From my childhood of course it was Christmas and Easter. So it was more like the Holidays instead. There is something more refined about the Catholic Church that demands more respect and retains more secrets of it's knowledge and history. I am afraid to even bother to contact the Catholic Church to see if it was all a delusion afterall. Maybe we are all delusional than anyway.

I put my faith into my intentions and the good intentions of others. Every day is a "holy day" (although it's hard sometimes to see bad days like that). My favorite holiday is halloween (partially because my birthday is oct 30, but mainly because we get to pretend we are someone else for a time). Also, christmas is a favorite of mine, it has been for as long as i can remember, one of the few days that i wake up with a smile on my face for nearly no reason at all. maybe it's just the kid in me.

Catholic. Easter and Christmas are the tops. Followed by Holy Week, Lent, Advent, and Holy Days of Obligation.

I'm Hindu and there are many Hindu holidays, such as Diwali, Navaratri, Krishna's Birthday, Rama's Birthday, etc. As a devotee of Vishnu, the Ekadashi day is important to me, which occurs every 2 weeks. It is a day of fasting (some days you can have fruits and water, other days not). And on that day you remember God in all you do and do extra devotion, sort of like a Sabbath.

I am Oneness Apostolic Holiness
we can celebrate all national holidays and birthdays
as far as religious holidays go we really don't celebrate any, we do remember the day of Pentecost as the birth of the church.

As a satanistic/nihilistic/atheist chaos mage (someone once accused me of being an atheistic omnitheist...), my birthday is the only holy day on the calender... and even that I try to avoid considering special -- it's just another day of my life, no different from the day before or the day after.

my faith is not clear but yours is like crystal. you moved me earlier and I know it's your way. My faith is in the human condition, but we have so so far to go. My faith is in the future and my highest holy day is yet to come.

There is but one holy day, the first day of the week. To celebrate Jesus death, burial and Resurrection. No others are taught by the Apostles. However, every day is of God's.

celtic pagan,
i see all holidays as equally importent. they symbolise a time when ancient people could forget about the hardships faces in everyday life and take time to enjoy it.
winter, and summer solstice's
spring and fall equinox's
Mabon
Samhien
Yule
Beltane
(and about 12 more)
