There were no holidays, only Holy Days. These were strictly observed by the entire population and were celebrated by going to church and perhaps having specific types of food at meals (fish, for example). It was nothing like the "day off work so let's go to the beach" idea of today.

People in the medieval period had deeply-held and devout Christian beliefs, so the Christian "festivals" such as Pentecost, Lent, advent and so on had an enormous meaning, as did the days dedicated to the lives of individual saints.

Reverence and worship, not enjoyment and fun.
