Several yrs ago I printed out the laws from gopher. chabad.org. shortly after that the site disappeared. I'll type out what I have down about the holidays.
Quote:Concerning making a holiday for themselves, a Noahide can participate in a Jewish holiday, such as Shavuoth _ The Feast of Weeks_ when the Torah was given since the Children of Noah received their commandments at that time as well, or Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year and Day of Judgment, since all mankind is judged by G_d on that day and, therefore, should be important to the noahide as well as the Israelite. Rosh Hashanah also is the day Adam, the first man, was created by G_d, and all mankind is descended from Adam just as it is from Noah. Even these, however, the Noahide celebrates only in order to bring additional merit and reward for himself, and may not rest in the manner of the Jews, Moreover, the Noahide is strictly forbidden to create a new holiday that has religious significance and claim that it is part of his own religion, even if the religion is the observance of the Seven Noahide Laws.
*** thanks, shal. however, a noahide and xian are two different things. a noahide is not an idolator so there are no pagan beliefs to mix with that which is holy. when a xian attempts to celebrate our holidays which are holy, they bring much paganism to the table.
