Answer 1

This gives you the different holidays for each country, and how they originated.

Just looked at that one.  Looks like you can download a calender?

Also if you buy an annual diary, some of them put world holidays in them in the first few pages along with conversions and such.

Answer 2

I'd start by just looking up each one on Wikipedia, and some of them are listed in the Holidays section here under Society and Culture so you can check if you're spelling them properly so you can find them.

Just found this as well which looks interesting:

This is a primary schools site but it's good for just the British holidays and a lot of fun, check out Christmas!!!

Try searching the BBC and Channel Four websites as well.

Answer 3

Try searching on Google or use Wikipedia, although Wikipedia can sometimes be unreliable.

Or... why don't you ask questions here.
