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.

Corpus Christi - is a Christian feast, the day on which Christians commemorate The Last Supper of Jesus Christ and his apostles before he was crucified.

Assumption Day - assumption of Mary. The Blessed Virgin Mary (Mary, the mother of Jesus) "having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into heavenly glory. This means that Mary was transported into Heaven with her body and soul united. The Assumption is commonly celebrated on August 15.

All Saints' Day - All Hallows or Hallowmas ("hallows" meaning "saints," and "mas" meaning "Mass"), is a feast celebrated November 1 in honour of all the saints, known and unknown. Halloween is the day preceding it, and is so named because it is "The Eve of All Hallows". All Saints is also a Christian formula invoking all the faithful saints and martyrs, known or unknown.

Immaculate Conception - is a Christian feast celebrates the conception of Mary, the mother of Jesus without any stain of original sin, in her mother's womb: the dogma thus says that, from the first moment of her existence, she was preserved by God from the lack of sanctifying grace that afflicts mankind, and that she was instead filled with divine grace. It is further believed that she lived a life completely free from sin. Her immaculate conception in the womb of her mother, by sexual intercourse, should not be confused with the doctrine of the virginal conception of her son Jesus.

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