Well, most Christian holidays have striking similarities with older Sabbats that pre-Christian Pagans celebrated, probably (as has been said) to help convert country dwellers (where the word Pagan comes from) and make the process more appealing to them. So I would say that any of the feast days of the "newer" saints would be considered as Christian only, since they do not have traditions that pre-date Christianity. Although, I know that some Christians consider the worship of saints to be pagan in and of itself, since many believe that a person should only worship one God. It should be noted here, however, that regardless of the origins of religious traditions, now, thousands of years later, Sabbats and holidays take on a new meaning for people, and that meaning may be different than the original one. I believe that it is wise to understand the background and history of your religious traditions, but if they mean something altogether different for you, that's ok. It is your holiday to celebrate how you want to, and often family traditions of the past few decades have more resonance with a person than the original intended tradition of thousands of years ago. The important part is that you celebrate what is in your heart without feeling the need to put down another religious tradition as wrong or immoral. Just because it is wrong to you, doesn't mean that it isn't special and holy to someone else. I know that it horrifies some, but I am fascinated by the links between Christianity and Paganism, and I believe that if we were to focus more on the similarities between all religions, there would be much less judgement and religious discrimination and persecution among us, the citizens of the Earth. Blessings, and a peaceful Samhain.
