In the New Testament context, it often pertains to Jewish religious festivals, which were times of communal gathering, worship, and remembrance of God's acts in history. The term implies not just the act of eating and drinking, but also the spiritual and communal aspects of these celebrations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In Jewish tradition, feasts and festivals were central to religious life, serving as times for worship, thanksgiving, and remembrance. Key festivals included Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles, each with its own historical and theological significance. These festivals were ordained by God in the Torah and were integral to the Jewish calendar, providing rhythm and structure to the community's spiritual life.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1858: ἑορτάζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἑορτάζω</span></span>; (<span class="greek2">ἑορτή</span>); <span class="accented">to keep a feast-day, celebrate a festival</span>: <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/5-8.htm">1 Corinthians 5:8</a>, on which passage see <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">ἄζυμος</span></span>.
