A festival is an experience, normally and ordinarily presented by a local community, which in turn centers on and keeps some tropical side of that community and the Festival. In the midst of many religious beliefs, a banquet is a set of festivities in honor of God or gods. A fete and a festival are historically standardized. Even so, the idea of "feast" has also entered common secular parlance as a synonym for any magnanimous or elaborated meal. When practiced as in the significance 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 descends 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") springs Middle English, from Middle French, from the Latin word festa. Fete first came into use 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 really is spiritual. There can be many kinds of fete, like Halloween and Christmas.
