Buddhist Holy Days

I know little about most "non" Christian religions. As others have pointed out, the major Christian observations should be Easter, Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, Christmas. Since polls show that the majority of Americans are believers in God and tens to lean more toward the Christian faith shouldn't "majority rule"? Some may try to dispute it, but America was founded mainly on Christian principals. As far as I know, no presidential candidates, no former presidents, few or no governors, senators,congressmen, or representatives are members of the Buddhist, Hindu, Wicca, faiths. That being the case-why be angry over Christian displays? Christians have rights too. Did and do, our leaders observe Christian holidays? Yes. Question: If a person is of another national decent, should they take offense at the flying of the American flag? Should ALL city hall's be required to fly the flag of all other nations? NO. If a person comes from another country and becomes an American citizen, should our celebrating the 4th of July (independence day) offend them? NO. There is nothing wrong with Christmas displays. Christian displays breaks no laws. If a person is so adamant about their own (non-Christian) belief, I wonder if they themselves put decorations in their own yard, home, etc. to show their devotion to it. I doubt it. I think they mainly want to cause problems and hassle Christians.

'holiness' in buddhism may be a different concept than in western religions.
If any particular day would be considered more 'holy' than others, i imagine it would have something to do with the history of the practice.
There is literature out there you can read, most of it will have been researched properly.

Buddhism is not a set of rules to be followed by the followers, its all about a new philosophy which i call it a working philosophy, there is nothing controversial about it when you apply these philosophies.
Buddhism is about the self and its oneness. Every moment is a beautiful moment, they live in the here and now, yesterday cannot be changed, tomorrow we dont know, its the celebration of the present, because it is a gift, hence deal the present in its best, because tomorrow is born out of this beautiful day hence it has to be beautiful.

Since Buddhism recognizes no god or deity, it is by definition not a religion. It is considered a philosophy. And to my knowledge they consider no day holy.

Buddhists do not really have a specific "day" of rest
They generally go on extended periods of meditation in monostarys.

There are a lot of days that are celebrated for various lamas, teachers, days that mark events in the Buddha's teachings and life etc. They vary by traditions.
