For the most part they are all "adopted" from significant timeperiods of the year that are celebrated.
The solstices, harvests, plantings, changes in season, etc.
These have been used since ANCIENT times at the very beginnings of civilization and even before.
When humans started noticing patterns and the cycles of life and their environment.
Rarely, are a religion's holidays representing something specific,
as they have been absorbed into various cultures.
