To be fair, the equinoxes and solstices are found in nature.

    But also, to be technical about it, the holidays actually celebrating them are still a human invention.

    Meh, invention seems something a tad more in tentional. I think nature sort of gave us the solstices, we used them for some reason or another, but then they were too far apart and that's when we invented holidays.

    Perhaps not a holiday in the strictest sense, but definitely because of a natural occurrence

    what is the natural occurrence? the calendar is not part of nature. its basically a rounding error.
