Peasants had about 60 holy days they celebrated as feasts. Every Sunday was one. Christmas was another that people know well today, but there were a number of others, such as the Feast of the Circumcision, the Feast of the Ascension, and so on. In addition to important feast days that were widely celebrated, there would have been feasts of the patron saints of local churches, the country, and possibly local nobility. The number of these feasts varied with time and place, but in addition to all Sundays, there were probably about eight celebrated in most places.
