A festival is an experience, commonly and ordinarily represented by a local community, that might centers on and observes some exotic element of that community and the Festival. In the course of many religious beliefs, a banquet is a set of festivities in honor of God or gods. A fiesta and a festival are historically exchangeable. All the same, term "feast" has also entered common secular parlance as a synonym for any big or elaborated meal. When practiced as in the signification 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 put down 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") has been derived from Middle English, from Middle French, from the Latin word festa. Fete first came into exercise 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 very spiritual. There can be many a variety of fete, like Halloween and Christmas.
