Feast

Sumptuous holiday dinner

A feast is a large, elaborate meal, often celebratory: a wedding feast, a Thanksgiving feast.

By extension, any abundant supply of something enjoyable: a feast for the eyes.

To feast is to eat lavishly or to take great pleasure in something: We feasted on fresh seafood.

A feast day is a religious festival honoring a saint or sacred event.
