The correct answer to this question is False. Instead of 7 holy days, there are only 6. The first day is Mary, Mother of God, which is celebrated on January 1. This is a day of the feast, which marks her motherhood. Next is the Ascension of the Lord, which is the 6th Thursday of Easter.

It marked when Jesus ascended into heaven. On August 15, The Assumption is observed, which is when Mary went to heaven. November 1 is All Saints Day, which celebrates all Christian Saints. Then, to end the year, Immaculate Conception is celebrated on December 8 and Christmas, the day Jesus was born, is celebrated on December 25.
