Do we need to keep the feast days? The Lord's super has replace the feast days?

There's a compact list here that will answer your question. You'll have to ask your Pastor which ones your Church observes. Most all of them I think. Mothering Sunday is known as Mother's Day.

The "Feast Days" are Jewish remembrance Feasts that they were required to adhere to. These feasts were meant to bring back to memory what the LORD God had done for them during their history. Had the Jews recognized their Messiah & turned from their sins through faith in Him, then those Feast Days would hold no more significance, other than just historical events. Those Feasts looked forward to Jesus Christ Who was their fulfilment.

So the believer (both Jew & Gentile) do not "keep the Feast Days" as their purpose has already been accomplished through the Lord Jesus. The Lord's Supper is strictly a memorial 'feast' in remembrance of the Lord's death & resurrection. Though this "Supper" has no direct connection to the purpose of the Jewish Feasts, it is in a sense, a Christian feast that is celebrated whenever we choose to do so, rather than at a specific time of the year (as with the Jewish Feasts). The Jewish Feast looked forward to the coming Messiah & His Sacrifice - the Lord's Supper looks backward to all that the Messiah has done for us at the Cross.
