Orthodox Christians celebrate the feast day of Moses the Prophet on September 4 (which currently falls on the Gregorian calendar's September 17 by the reckoning of the Julian calendar).

For your first question, we celebrate Pesach, which is a commemorence of the Jews leaving Egypt, led by Moses.

Now, since the Hebrew calender is different than the English one, the holidays always fall on different days of the calender you know. So I'll just give you some of the holidays that I remember (since I"m tired and can't think properly right now):

Chanuka/Hanuka-remembering the miracle of the finding of the little oil that burned for 8 days, since the Greeks had destroyed the temple and all of the Kosher oil for the holy "lamp"/Menora.

Purim-holiday when we dress up, because of a certain story I don't have time to explain. (contact me if you want it at another time).

Pesach-Mentioned above (Moses led us out of slavery in Egypt, and into the land of Israel after 40 years traveling in the desert).

Many religions have feast days in honor of deities or humans whom they treat like deities. Roman Catholicism has so many people the treat like deities ("saints") that there's not enough days in the year to accomodate all of them.

Jews and evangelical Christians would not spend a day every year honoring a person because God is a jealous God and won't share His glory with another. So...no, there is no day on the Jewish calendar for Moses. Passover, in which he was one of many involved, is the closest you'd hear of.
