There are 8 Pagan holidays. They are also called Sabbats. 4 major, 4 minor. I have listed the holidays as well as provided a link that explains the basics of each one. The solstice dates vary every year within a 5 day range and the major ones sometimes go between the 1st or the 2nd except for Samhain/Beltane. I hope this helps with better understanding.
