Parties and Feasts, I

 
 
 
Feasts and festivals are special times of celebration. Most take place once a year and may last for a day or more. Many feasts and festivals honour great leaders, saints, or gods or spirits.

Others celebrate a harvest, the beginning of a season or of a year, or the anniversary of a historical event.

Most feasts and festivals are joyous occasions, but some involve mourning and repentance.
