religious feast
Holy day observance
A religious feast is a day or period of celebration honoring a sacred event, figure, or mystery within a faith tradition.
Christmas and Easter are Christian feasts; Passover and Sukkot are Jewish feasts.
The word feast emphasizes both spiritual observance and communal eating—most religious feasts involve special meals or ritual foods: The family gathered for the feast of Eid al-Fitr.
