There were no holidays in the medieval period - there were Holy days, which is not the same thing. Holy days were important events in the Church calendar, including Easter, Christmas, Epiphany and Lent; but also the feast days of all the Christian Saints (and there were many).
A feast was definitely nothing to do with sitting at a table and eating (that's a banquet). A feast was a Holy day to commemorate and honour a particular Saint or other Holy figure (such as the Virgin Mary) by attending church services, being informed by the priest about the life of that person and having their story in mind all day. Certain foods, such as fish, were eaten on certain feast days but otherwise life continued as normal.
Perhaps the only Christian saint vaguely remembered by everyone today, including non-Christians, is Saint Valentine, whose feast day falls on 14 February - but sadly almost nobody has the faintest clue why he became a Saint or why we honour his memory.
