The word is a Latin Christian liturgical term for a day of appointed rank in the calendar; extending it to the Islamic eid and to Baha'i holy days is a convenience of this classification, not a term those traditions use. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedHolidays & Festivals 1Learn MoreThe feasts This group gathers feasts, the festal days of the religious calendar centred on celebration and, often, shared eating, commemorating a saint, an event of sacred history or a season of the year. In the Christian calendar especially, the feast is a central form of observance. The browser will find the feasts the atlas gathers. The entries describe each feast's occasion, customs and meaning, noting the tradition and the date on which it falls.Julian (Old Calendar)Filter Results7 entriesTraditionAllAfrican Methodist Episcopal Church (1)African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church (1)Amish (1)Anabaptism (1)Anglican Communion (1)Anglicanism (1)Armenian Apostolic Church (3)Assyrian Church of the East (1)Baptist (1)Calvinism (Reformed) (1)Christian Methodist Episcopal Church (1)Church of Cyprus (4)Church of England (1)Church of God (Anderson, Indiana) (1)Church of Greece (4)Church of Ireland (1)Church of Scotland (1)Church of Sweden (1)Church of the Nazarene (1)Coptic Orthodoxy (3)Disciples of Christ (1)Dutch Reformed Church (1)Eastern Orthodoxy (5)Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople (4)Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church (2)Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (2)Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (1)Evangelicalism (1)Free Methodist Church (1)Georgian Orthodox Church (4)Global Methodist Church (1)Greek Orthodox Church (4)Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) (1)Lutheranism (1)Maronite Church (1)Mennonites (1)Methodism (1)Moravian Church (1)National Baptist Convention of America (1)Old Believers (4)Oriental Orthodoxy (4)Pentecostalism (1)Presbyterianism (1)Progressive National Baptist Convention (1)Protestantism (1)Roman Catholicism (1)Romanian Orthodox Church (4)Russian Orthodox Church (4)Serbian Orthodox Church (5)The Episcopal Church (1)The United Methodist Church (1)Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church (4)Ukrainian Orthodox Church (4)Wesleyan Church (1)Date TypeAllComputed from another feast (2)Fixed date in its own calendar (5)Observance TypeAllCommemoration of a person or event (1)Fast / abstinence (1)Feast / celebration (5)Nativity / birth remembered (1)Purification (1)Veneration of a deity or holy figure (2)MonthAllAugust (1)December (1)January (2)Origin EraAll200 (1)336 (1)450 (1)Place of OriginAllEthiopia (1)UNESCO StatusAllInscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (2)Status TodayAllLiving tradition, practised today (5)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 7ChristmasJulian (Old Calendar)Dormition of the TheotokosJulian (Old Calendar)Lazarus SaturdayJulian (Old Calendar)SlavaJulian (Old Calendar)The Triumph of OrthodoxyJulian (Old Calendar)TheophanyJulian (Old Calendar)TimkatJulian (Old Calendar)Sources1.
