feast days
tout dépend du contexte et si oui ou non vous parlez vraiment de "jours de fête" dans le sens primitif. Si oui, on dit "feast days"
Definition: Days of celebration, as opposed to fast days. The primary feast day is Easter. All Sundays are miniature celebrations celebrations of Easter, and thus all Sundays are feast days. Other feast days include saint's days and all special days like Ascension, Epiphany, Holy Cross Day, etc.
