What are the similarities with modern and medieval Christmas?
Christmas has always been celebration of the birth of Jesus. In the Middle Ages, as now, gifts were given, people went to church, and there was a feast. The medieval feast, however, could be something to behold. There is a link below to the medieval section of an article on Christmas.
What is the role of a Nun during a Medieval Feast?
The nun didn't have a part in a medieval feast. The castle priest gave the blessing before it started. Nuns didn't live in castles for the services held in the private castle chapels. They were just women who decided to get away from the world and enter a convent or a nunnery. Nun's didn't leave the nunnery very much because of their holy lives spent in prayer and solitude.
What do medieval queens eat for dinner?
Eating was one of the castle dweller's most popular pastimes, for not only did food provide needed sustenance; it was a means of entertainment. In particular, the banquet was used to impress a lord's guests with his generosity and his wealth.
What did medieval holidays not honor?
There were no holidays in the medieval period - there were Holy days, which is not the same thing. Holy days were important events in the Church calendar, including Easter, Christmas, Epiphany and Lent; but also the feast days of all the Christian Saints (and there were many).A feast was definitely nothing to do with sitting at a table and eating (that's a banquet). A feast was a Holy day to commemorate and honour a particular Saint or other Holy figure (such as the Virgin Mary) by attending church services, being informed by the priest about the life of that person and having their story in mind all day. Certain foods, such as fish, were eaten on certain feast days but otherwise life continued as normal.Perhaps the only Christian saint vaguely remembered by everyone today, including non-Christians, is Saint Valentine, whose feast day falls on 14 February - but sadly almost nobody has the faintest clue why he became a Saint or why we honour his memory.

How long would a medieval feast last?
A medieval feast does not mean a meal.The medieval idea of a feast was a whole day spent celebrating a particular Saint, with special church services (often starting in the evening before the feast day) and with particular types of food traditionally eaten. In the churches and monasteries special hymns would be sung and the story of the Saint would be read out. Feast days punctuated the calendar and enabled people to specify a particular date: "I have to pay my rent on the Feast of St Michael", or "Our daughter was born two days before the Feast of Saint Martha, so we named her Martha".The word feast comes from Latin dies festus, meaning a solemn day.You probably mean a banquet, which might go on for many hours.

What type of entertainment would you see at a medieval feast?
You would see no entertainment, because a medieval feast had nothing to do with large quantities of food (that's a banquet). A feast was a religious day to commemorate a Saint or one of the other stages in the Christian calendar: the feast of St Stephen, the feast of St Agnes, the feast of St Benedict, the feast of All Souls, the feast of Holy Innocents and many more.Feast comes from the Latin term festum, meaning a Holy Day and it was certainly nothing to do with entertainment or over-eating. People went to church and perhaps ate certain types of food (such as fish) to respect the memory of the saint in question.In the monasteries the life and work of the Saint would be read out on the previous day (the "eve" of the feast day) and special prayers, hymns and texts would be included in the services for that day.It was only in the very late medieval period that the word "feast" began to be used in its modern sense.
