feast day (or festival) is the date a saint, a holy event, or a holy object is commemorated in the liturgical life of the Orthodox Church. A feast day is primarily celebrated through the hymnography of the Church's divine services appointed to be celebrated on such day. Sometimes the feast day commemoration involves a day of strict fasting.
The Orthodox Church commemorates certain saints or sacred events in its history every day of the year. The feast day of a saint is generally the date of his or her death.
In the Christian tradition, feast days are usually oriented around holy people, like Jesus or the saints. However, a feast day may also commemorate an event, such as Christmas Day, the birth of Jesus. In the early Church, the most important feast was Easter. Today, Easter remains very important, and every Sunday is considered a feast day of sorts.
