Any holy days in the eastern orthodox church?
Many Holy Days! So many I can't list them all. There are the feasts of the Saints. Then there are the major fasts, the Nativity Fast, and Lent. Christmas/Christmas Eve is a holy day, as well as Pascha, which is basically Easter, and Holy Friday. Holy Week is also a very strict fasting day.
What happend on Easter?
Easter Saturday is the Saturday after Easter Sunday. It is not, as many people think, the Saturday before Easter Sunday. That is Holy Saturday. It may be Holy Saturday that you are asking about though. Saturday is the Jewish Sabbath, so no work could be done. So very little and nothing of significance happened on Holy Saturday. As it was a day of rest, that's why there was such a rush to get the body of Jesus entombed before sunset on Friday and why Jesus lay in the tomb on Holy Saturday, waiting until Sunday to rise and why the ladies didn't go to prepare the body of Jesus until the first day of the week, which is Sunday. They found he had risen and much later Christians adopted Sunday as their Sabbath in honour of the Resurrection.

When does Catholic school break for spring?
Every diocese is different but many, if not most, take spring break starting in Holy Week and include the week after Easter. That is also the time frame when the national convention of Catholic teachers is held so this frees them up to attend if they wish.
Why do you celebrate Holy week?
Catholics celebrate Holy Week to remember what happened before Easter, before Christ rose from the dead: the Last Supper, Christ's passion and suffering, and finally his death. They try to remember that, not only is Christ's triumph over death important, but so is his terrible suffering and sacrifice as well.
