The word is a Latin Christian liturgical term for a day of appointed rank in the calendar; extending it to the Islamic eid and to Baha'i holy days is a convenience of this classification, not a term those traditions use. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHolidays & Festivals 1BrowseCompareSelect all 38All SaintsFeasts19 linksAll Souls' DayFeasts10 linksAscension DayFeasts42 linksBirth of Baha'u'llahFeasts6 linksBirth of the BabFeasts6 linksCandlemasFeasts23 linksChrist the KingFeasts7 linksChristmasFeasts72 linksCorpus ChristiFeasts8 linksDies Natalis Solis InvictiFeasts7 linksDivine Mercy SundayFeasts6 linksDormition of the TheotokosFeasts20 linksEid al-AdhaFeasts19 linksEid al-FitrFeasts17 linksEpiphanyFeasts15 linksExaltation of the Holy CrossFeasts21 linksFeast of the AssumptionFeasts9 linksFeast of the Immaculate ConceptionFeasts7 linksLazarus SaturdayFeasts15 linksMaundy ThursdayFeasts20 linksMichaelmasFeasts9 linksNativity of the Blessed Virgin MaryFeasts18 linksNineteen Day FeastFeasts4 linksOur Lady of FatimaFeasts6 linksOur Lady of GuadalupeFeasts7 linksOur Lady of LourdesFeasts6 linksOur Lady of Mount CarmelFeasts5 linksOur Lady of SorrowsFeasts5 linksPentecostFeasts58 linksSlavaFeasts1 linkThe AnnunciationFeasts29 linksThe Holy InnocentsFeasts7 linksThe Sacred Heart of JesusFeasts5 linksThe TransfigurationFeasts22 linksThe Triumph of OrthodoxyFeasts2 linksTheophanyFeasts20 linksTimkatFeasts9 linksTrinity SundayFeasts13 linksLearn MoreThe feasts This group gathers feasts, the festal days of the religious calendar centred on celebration and, often, shared eating, commemorating a saint, an event of sacred history or a season of the year. In the Christian calendar especially, the feast is a central form of observance. The browser will find the feasts the atlas gathers. The entries describe each feast's occasion, customs and meaning, noting the tradition and the date on which it falls.Sources1. Divinity Atlas Directory Taxonomy, First Edition Category Treetier 12.
