While Buddhists have many special days and celebrations during the year these are not correctly called "holy" days as Buddhism has no deity (a prerequisite for being a holy anything.) Buddhist festivals celebrate special events in the Buddha's life and underscore important teachings

As far as an equivalent to the Cristian's Sunday, the Jewish Saturday or the Muslim Friday - no such weekly observation is specified in Buddhist tradition.
