The number of feast days in a calendar year depends on the religious tradition or cultural practices being followed. For example, in Catholicism, there are many feast days, including those dedicated to saints, liturgical celebrations, and holy days of obligation. In other religious traditions or cultures, the number of feast days may vary.
Most religious festivals take place on religious feast days. The day before a religious feast day is known as a "vigil" or watching. Vigils are days of fast and penance in order that the faithful may root out vice in themselves and gain the necessary disposition and virtues to celebrate the feast day in a virtuous spirit.
The list of religious occasions is much too long the list here. Each religion has its own holidays and feast days.
The more religious of Italians honor the many feast daysof the Roman Catholic Church. For example, the saint for whom one may be named has a certain designated day of remembrance year after year. Traditionally, the saint's day even may be celebrated as the birthday of the bearer of that saint's name. Except in the case of more traditional Catholic populations, Canadians tend not to recognize such religious feast days or to celebrate them through religious services, readings, or fastings.
The Puritans did not celebrate traditional holidays such as Christmas, Easter, or Halloween as they believed these celebrations had pagan roots and were not based on biblical teachings. Instead, they focused on religious observances and days of fasting and prayer. However, they did have some special days for giving thanks and prayer, such as the annual Thanksgiving feast.
The most important feast days are called Holy Days of Obligation.

Medieval people did not usually have what we would call parades. They had processions, in which people sang and played religious music or said prayers, and these were usually on feast days for the Church, days of local patron saints, or Sundays.
