This section lists some of the main holy days of the 8 largest faiths in the
U.S.: Christianity, Judaism, Islam,

and Wicca. Most religious days of celebration are
based on:
 |
Fixed dates. |
 |
Phases of the moon (lunar calendars). |
 |
The timing of the equinoxes and solstices, (solar calendars). |
 |
Both (lunisolar calendars). |
Thus many are held on dates which vary from year to year, according to the
common (Gregorian) calendar.
Although these dates were taken from sources that we believe to be reliable,
please do not rely on their accuracy. We have observed many discrepancies in
reference books and on the Internet.
