You are correct, to an extant. The days that these holidays fall on originaly had pagan holidays fall on them. The Catholic Church purposefully set these holidays up on those days, to replace the pagan holidays. Easter, although not called that, was celebrated by the early Christians to celebrate the ressurection of Jesus; however it was a weekly celebration on Sundays. Which is the reason we meet together on Sundays. Holloween hasn't ever been a Christian holiday. It has always been a holiday of witches and wizards and such. The day after that is a Catholic holiday however. Christmas may have been the day the Wise Men (Magi) showed up at Jesus' house. Valentines Day was set up to celebrate two martyrs named Valentine who died on the same day, on Valentines Day.
