CCAF-REvTFC- Festive Season

A festival is an experience, normally and ordinarily represented by a local community, which will centers on and observes some unusual facet of that community and the Festival. In the middle of many religious beliefs, a banquet is a set of festivities in honor of God or gods. A fiesta and a festival are historically standardised. Yet, the phrase "feast" has also entered common secular parlance as a synonym for any magnanimous or detailed meal. When applied as in the import of a festival, most often refers to a religious festival rather than a film or art festival. In the Christian liturgical calendar there are two principal feasts, properly known as the Feast of the Nativity of our Lord (Christmas) and the Feast of the Resurrection, (Easter). In the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Anglican liturgical calendars there are a great number of lesser feasts throughout the year commemorating saints, sacred events, doctrines, etc.

The word fest comes from the Middle English, from Middle French word festivus, coming from the Latin word festivus. Festival was first entered as a noun in 1589. Before it had been used as an adjectival coming from the fourteenth century, meaning to celebrate a church holiday. The etymology of feast is very similar to that of festival. The word "feste" (one letter different from "fest") comes Middle English, from Middle French, from the Latin word festa. Fiesta first came into employment as a noun circa 1200, and feast was used as a verb circa 1300. A festival is a special occasion of feasting or celebration, that is generally spiritual. There can be many kinds of fete, like Halloween and Christmas.
