The Christian holidays for the full country are: Monday after Easter, Ascension, Whit Monday, Assumption of Mary, All Saints' and Christmas. Assuming they want to keep Christmas, which two of the remaining five will be forcibly converted?
The Assumption and Ascension are most likely to go, despite being major feasts and Holy Days of Obligation, because the Assumption is not moveable and the Ascension is always on Thursday.
Good Friday will be kept because it creates a four day weekend and because it is also a great solemnity to boot.
Christmas and All Saints are too festive, and Christmas is too important, to be discarded.
