A fun quiz to do! You don't have go agree but a wouldn't say that all sabbaths are on the exact same day every year. But I would love to hear more what you know about that! (just trying to learn haha) :)

Some people celebrate the Sabbats on their astrological days (like celebrating Ostara when the sun is in 1 degree of Aries which is when spring begins astrologically or Yule when the sun is in 1 degree of Capricorn), others celebrate when they have time or when they feel most connected to that time of the year. A lot of the holidays we celebrate today, as well as the Sabbats, come from ancient pagan/Celtic festivals that acknowledged the different seasons and times of the year.

Christmas-Yule, Saturnalia

Halloween-Samhain, Day of the Dead

Easter-Ostara, day of Dead

Just to name a couple. Even the months and days of the week have pagan and astrological influences.
