Answer:

Christmas is for Jesus' birthday (however Santa has taken that holiday meaning from Christ), Easter for Jesus' Resurrection (the Easter Bunny is from a Pagan religion for the "god if fertility".), Palm Sunday, the Passover, and many others.

Answer

I'm not entirely sure about the 'taking from pagans', whether or not that's true.
The most accepted Christian 'holidays' are:
Christmas (the birth of Jesus)
Good Friday (the death of Jesus)
Easter Sunday (the Resurrection of Jesus)

Also, I might be wrong, but I think there is Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Day (the start of lent, lasting for forty days, when Jesus went into the desert for forty days).


Answer:

Christianity is young and most of the so called "Christian" holidays were adopted from pagans who didn't want to get rid of their traditions so they were implemented in the new religion.

Christmas--giving of gifts, feasts and celebrations, special midnight services.

Easter--people often wear brand-new spring clothing, hide colored eggs for children to find, give out candy--some go to sunrise services, eat lamb or ham.
