Good Friday - also called Holy and Great Friday, is the Friday before Easter (Easter always falls on a Sunday). It commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus at Calvary.

Easter - the Sunday of the Resurrection, Pascha, or Resurrection Day, is the most important religious feast of the Christianism. It celebrates the resurrection of Jesus, which Christians believe occurred on the third day after His crucifixion some time in the period AD 27 to 33.
Easter date

Easter Monday - is the day after Easter Sunday and is celebrated as a holiday in some largely Christian cultures. Formerly, the post-Easter festivities involved a week of secular celebration, but this was reduced to one day in the 19th century.

Ramadan - Ramaḍān or Ramazan is a Muslim religious observance that takes place during the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, when the Qur'an was revealed.
Ramadan timing

Eid al-Fitr - end of Ramadan

Christmas - is an annual holiday that celebrates the birth of Jesus. It is celebrated on 25th of December.

Boxing Day - celebrated on December 26, the day after Christmas. It was the day when people would give a present or Christmas box to those who had worked for them throughout the year. This is still done in Britain for postmen and paper-boys - though now the 'box' is usually given before Christmas, not after.
