Yule and Eostre? The early Christians didn’t celebrate either (well, some did celebrate Pesach to some limited extent). They later did a hostile takeover of the pre-Christian soltitial and equinoctial festivities, in order to make sure nobody had any fun at them. They also converted a number of minor gods into saints (mostly now deprecated by the Catholic Church, but some still hanging around in Orthodox sects).
My days off are Saturn-day and Sun-day. Like all the other days of the week in English, those names have a pre-Christian origin.
Yes but the reason they’re holidays is Christian. And I was also referring to Christmas and Easter
