Feast days are usually celebratory, in honor of saints. For instance, during the feast day of St. Nicholas, those celebrating the holiday do so by giving small gifts to children, in honor of the kindness and generosity of St. Nicholas of Myra.
The most important feast days are called Holy Days of Obligation.
