What are the major festivals of the Catholic Religion?
Catholic AnswerCatholic Festivals are normally called Holy Days of Obligation, which means that it is a Holy Day of such importance, that you need to attend Mass. There are ten of these (outside of every Sunday of the year - which are also considered Holy Days of Obligation): From Catholic Answers:The Code of Canon Law spells out when the holy days of obligation are on the Church's universal calendar:Can. 1246 §1. Sunday, on which by apostolic tradition the paschal mystery is celebrated, must be observed in the universal Church as the primordial holy day of obligation. The following days must also be observed:the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ,the Epiphany,the Ascension,the Body and Blood of Christ,Holy Mary the Mother of God,her Immaculate Conception,her Assumption,Saint Joseph,Saint Peter and Saint Paul the Apostles,and All Saints.These ten are the exact holy days of obligation that are celebrated in Vatican City, but there is variation elsewhere (including in Italy). The reason is that the Code of Canon Law goes on to state:Can. 1246 §2. With the prior approval of the Apostolic See, however, the conference of bishops can suppress some of the holy days of obligation or transfer them to a Sunday.Thus different countries celebrate different holy days of obligation (apart from Sunday, which they all celebrate).The country with the fewest number of holy days of obligation seems to Hong Kong, which has only one: Christmas.Canada has two: Christmas and Mary, Mother of God.The United States, by contrast, has a fairly robust eight holy days of obligation, though two to three have been transferred to Sundays (depending on where you live).The details of how the holy days in the U.S. have evolved are found here.The details can be a little bewildering though, so here is a complete, up-to-date list of the holy days of obligation in the United States:Mary, Mother of God (always celebrated January 1, but if this occurs on a Saturday or a Monday there is no obligation to go to Mass)Epiphany (this has been permanently translated to the first Sunday after January 1)Ascension (this is celebrated on different days depending on which ecclesiastical province you live in; a few provinces celebrate it on the traditional date, which is the Thursday of the sixth week of Easter, but most provinces in the U.S. have transferred it to the seventh Sunday of Easter.)The Body and Blood of Christ (this has been permanently translated to the second Sunday after Pentecost)Assumption of Mary (always celebrated August 15, but if this occurs on a Saturday or a Monday there is no obligation to go to Mass)All Saints (always celebrated November 1, but if this occurs on a Saturday or a Monday there is no obligation to go to Mass)Immaculate Conception of Mary (always celebrated December 8)Christmas (always celebrated December 25)There is one other wrinkle to the holy days of obligation in the United States: the state of Hawaii.Hawaii is part of the United States, but it is located in a part of the world where most of the surrounding dioceses belong to the Conference of Bishops of the South Pacific (CEPAC).As a result, there is a special indult for Hawaii to regulate its liturgical days in accord with the surrounding dioceses. Therefore, since 1992, Hawaii has only had two holy days of obligation (besides Sundays), which are the Immaculate Concept (Dec. 8) and Christmas (Dec. 25).
What is a Holy Day of Obligation in the Roman Catholic Church?
A Holy Day of Obligation is a concept taken from the Catholic tradition of Christianity (i.e. Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Coptic ''et cetera''). A holy day, in and of itself refers to the Concept of a "Feast," "Memorial," or "Solemnity" of a certain saint, or a rememberance of an event in either Jesus' life or in the life of Mary (his mother). Throughout the entire year there are examples of these days scattered. What a Holy Day of Obligation is, is simply one of these days where people (of a church/denomination) are obliged to go to church, under obedience to the bishops of their country or to the pope. These particular days are usually days which are of a particularly sacred nature, or of interest to the nation in general. Examples of holy days of obligation are: All Sundays of the year, Christmas Day, Easter Sunday, and often in countries the day of the patron saint of the country, for example in Ireland: Saint Patrick's Feast Day is a holy day of obligation.

June 29, the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul, is one of the 10 holy days mandated by Canon Law. However, local bishops have an option to suppress certain feasts or to celebrate them on a Sunday.
