 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Feast of the Assumption
Regarding the origin of the feast we are also uncertain.
The Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 15 August; also called in old liturgical books Pausatio, Nativitas (for heaven), Mors, Depositio, Dormitio S. Mariae.
Duchesne thinks (Origines du culte chr., 262) that before the seventh century no other feast was kept at Rome, and that consequently the feast of the Assumption, found in the sacramentaries of Gelasius and Gregory, is a spurious addition made in the eighth or seventh century.

 THE FIRST THANKSGIVING
This feast was never repeated, though, so it can't be called the beginning of a tradition, nor was it termed by the colonists or "Pilgrims" a Thanksgiving Feast.
The Pilgrims did have a feast in 1621, after their first harvest, and it is this feast which people often refer to as "The First Thanksgiving".
Thanksgiving and the Pilgrims seem to go together, just like Christmas and Santa Claus--but the truth is, the Pilgrims never held an autumnal Thanksgiving feast.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Ecclesiastical Feasts
Feast Days, or Holy Days, are days which are celebrated in commemoration of the sacred mysteries and events recorded in the history of our redemption, in memory of the Virgin Mother of Christ, or of His apostles, martyrs, and saints, by special services and rest from work.
The ordinary double feasts are called duplicia minora ; occurring with feasts of a higher rank, they can be simplified, except the octave days of some feasts and the feasts of the Doctors of the Church, which are transferred.
Two feasts of Our Lord (Epiphany, Christmas) were added in the fourth century; then came the feasts of the Apostles and martyrs, in particular provinces; later on also those of some confessors (St. Martin, St.

 Feast in the Greek and Hebrew in the OT
Note that in 2 Chronicles 8:13 the "solemn feasts" are then listed: "the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles".
I have also noticed that in both the Greek and Hebrew a distinction is made between secular or man-made feasts (in Greek: poton, dochen, or gamon ; in Hebrew: mishteh) and the feasts of the Lord (or, religious feasts) (in Greek: éorte ; in Hebrew either chag or mow'ed).
Esther 2:18 Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.

 Tabernacles, Feast of (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net
It was to the autumn pilgrims, who arrived on the 14th (of the month Tisri, the feast beginning on the 15th) day, like entrance into a silvan city.
"The feast of Tabernacles, the harvest festival of the Jewish Church, was the most popular and important festival after the Captivity.
It was at the time of this feast that Solomon's temple was dedicated ( 1 Kings 8:2).

 Encyclopedia Article: The Nineteen Day Feast
Feasts are also open to Baha'is from other communities and no believer in good standing may be excluded from a feast.
The feast is to consist of three parts: first, devotional, consisting of readings from the Baha'i sacred writings; second, a general community meeting, at which the local spiritual assembly and the community can consult; and third, a social meeting, at which food is served.
From this comes its meaning of banquet or feast.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Immaculate Conception
Not knowing that the feast had been celebrated with the rich tradition of the Greek and Syrian Churches regarding the sinlessness of Mary, he asserted that the feast was foreign to the old tradition of the Church.
But the Typicon was interpolated by the Damascene, Sophronius, and others, and, from the ninth to the twelfth centuries, many new feasts and offices were added.
This feast in the course of centuries became the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, as dogmatical argumentation brought about precise and correct ideas, and as the thesis of the theological schools regarding the preservation of Mary from all stain of original sin gained strength.

 BabetteÂ’s Feast
Although both works are suffused with eating and feasting imagery, this paper will focus on two significant and telling examples of how these works integrate it: Alyosha’s mystical experience of the wedding at Cana in The Brothers Karamazov and the spiritual journey of General Loewenhelm that culminated in the feast in Babette’s Feast.
Babette’s Feast: The Generosity of God, by Robert A. Flanagan.
The first section presents a brief explanation of the place of food and feasting in the Jewish and Christian traditions, the second on the character development of Alyosha in Dostoevsky’s The Brothers Karamazo v, focusing on his experience of a mystical feast, and General Lowenhielm’s transformation of character in Babette’s Feast.

 Christmas Prayer: Epiphany
Historians see the Feast of the Epiphany originating from early Jewish-Christian celebrations of the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles, which celebrated God's glory in covenant, light and water.
by Victor Hoagland, C.P. The Feast of the Epiphany (epiphany means "manifestation", "revelation") is the oldest of the Christmas feasts and is still celebrated on January 6th as the major feast of the season by the eastern Christian churches.
(cf John 7-10) The gospel affirms, as does this feast, he is God's divine Son.

 What Is the Bahá'í Feast?
Hence, the term "19-Day Feast." Under adverse or abnormal circumstances, the Feast Day may be postponed to another day, but it is important that the Feast be conducted.
The social portion of the Feast gives everyone further opportunity to discuss the topics of the Spiritual Texts that were read during the devotional portion and the administrative tasks ahead of the community as indicated during the consultative portion.
The consultative, sometimes referred to as the administrative, portion of the Feast normally follows the devotional and involves the entire community hearing and discussing reports from the local Spiritual Assembly, correspondence from around the world, events of interest to the Faith and the world, with emphasis on Bahá'í principles.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Feast of Corpus Christi
This feast is celebrated in the Latin Church on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday to solemnly commemorate the institution of the Holy Eucharist.
In the Greek Church the feast of Corpus Christi is known in the calendars of the Syrians, Armenians, Copts, Melchites, and the Ruthenians of Galicia, Calabria, and Sicily.
Bishop Robert was favourably impressed, and, since bishops as yet had the right of ordering feasts for their dioceses, he called a synod in 1246 and ordered the celebration to be held in the following year, also, that a monk named John should write the Office for the occasion.

 The Agape Feast Catholic Encyclopedia
The celebration of funeral feasts in honour of the dead dates back almost to the beginnings of the worship of the departed.
However, the Agape was for the poor and was really a feast with and for the dead much like the Marzeah condemned by Amos 5-8 as a musical festival which destroyed the Feast upon the Word of the Living God.
Yet the funeral feast was not merely a commemoration; it was a true communion, and the food brought by the guests was really meant for the use of the departed.

 Journal of Religion & Film: Babette's Feast: A Religious Film by Wendy M. Wright
Whether one sees a critique of a Christianity which over-stresses moral rectitude or a vision of a universe that is essentially sacramental or the reconciliation of the world and spirit or the movement from death to resurrection, Babette's Feast is clearly a film that takes its life from the exploration of religious symbolism.
At the final feast, not only do the sober disciples awaken to the truth of abundance freely given in the very stuff of the good earth, but the general, who comes to the dinner seeking confirmation of his long-ago choice of "the world," finds instead that he had never lost his earlier, idealistic self.
Babette's Feast is thus a thoroughly religious film in the sense that it plays with foundational Christian themes and imagery.

 The Agape Feast
The Agape Feast was the Love Feast in apostolic times and was often celebrated daily.
The Agape Feast was never mandated by divine authority and gradually lost its popularity.
For in eating every one takes before the other his own supper, and one is hungry and another is drunken." Jude writes of ungodly men among them: "These are spots in your feasts of charity when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear..."

 FEAST Projects - Brief Introduction
The FEAST projects terminated officially in March 2001, FEAST/1 [leh96] having run from October 1996 to September 1998 and FEAST/2 [leh98b] from April 1999 to March 2001 but group activity continued till September 2001.
In addition to the undersigned who were Principal Investigator and Research Associate, respectively, Dr. Paul Wernick was a Research Associate in FEAST/1 and Dr. Goel Kahen in FEAST/2.
These, and many other, FEAST results were derived by analysis of data received from some of the collaborators (collaborators were BT (FEAST/2 only), DERA, ICL, Logica, Matra-BAe Dynamics, Lucent Technologies ( de facto)), and from their contributions at the quarterly project workshops.

 Babette's Feast: Feasting with Lutherans (Mary Podles)
The feast is an image of the eucharistic banquet in all its specifics.
The recurring scenes of the faithful of the pietist community may well be based on Niels Bjerre's well-known (in Scandinavia) painting The Prayer Meeting, Harboore (The Children of God), which represents members of the Home Mission evangelical movement gathered around a table for prayer.
The mystical and religious themes in Babette's Feast are themselves an oblique reflection of another prevailing strain in nineteenth-century Scandinavian painting, and they are apparent in the visual imagery of the film too.

And they should turn their attention to this two months or six weeks before the feast, and they should all have come or sent what they could obtain by three or four days before the said feast so that the said meat can be hung and each dealt with as it ought to be.
And for the profit of the lord who gives the feast, and in order to satisfy the need more promptly and quickly, one should grind to powder the aforesaid spices which are necessary for the said feast, and put each separately into large and good leather bags.
And if the feast lasts longer one will thus be provided with extra.

 Stoneclave Tavern: Food and Drink: Medieval Feast
At royal feasts, the courses were broken up with a mini-course called an entremet, featuring lavish presentations and spectacles, and fantastic and fanciful foods called solteties.
This practice would continue as the feast progressed, ending with the finest of delicacies being served to just the table of the king or nobleman in charge of the affair.
A modern Medieval feast, whether done for friends and family as an amusement, or presented by schools and historical societies for the public, should follow the traditional standards of the Middle Ages.

 Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel
In the seventeenth century the feast was adopted by several dioceses in the south of Italy, although its celebration, outside of Carmelite churches, was prohibited in 1628 by a decree contra abusus.
Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (July 16th)
The feast was assigned to 16 July, because on that date in 1251, according to Carmelite traditions, the scapular was given by the Blessed Virgin to St. Simon Stock; it was first approved by Sixtus V in 1587.

Feast is a book about celebration, abundance, and communion in the literal sense of the word, after all, what is a feast without people?
There is a nice blend of occasions including the obvious (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and Easter), a few culturally specific ones (Rosh Hashanah, Georgian Feast, and Venetian Feast), feasts for kids, for vegetarians, and an elegant cocktail party.
Each chapter begins with an overview of that particular "Feast." Generally, there is a personal story and experience told, an overview of the cultural importance of the feast, and a description of foods that are associated with each occasion.

feast - feast, commemorative banquet symbolizing communal unity.
Tabernacles, Feast of, one of the oldest and most joyous of Jewish holidays, called in the Bible the Feast of Ingathering and today often called by its Hebrew name, Sukkoth [Heb.,=booth].
The palm branch (lulav or lulab) and citron (etrog or ethrog) used in conjunction with prayers of the Feast of Tabernacles possibly go back to the harvest festival associated with the holiday.
