feast
Abundant celebratory meal
A feast is a large, elaborate meal, often for many people and marking a celebration: The wedding feast lasted for hours.
A feast can also be any abundant supply of something enjoyable: a feast for the eyes.
To feast is to eat abundantly or to take great pleasure in something: We feasted on fresh crab, She feasted her eyes on the view.
A feast day is a religious holiday commemorating a saint or sacred event.
