The earliest festivals were way back in Ancient Egyptian times . Festivals were really important to them, poor and rich came together , and have a chance to have a break for a few days. The Egyptians' festivals were mostly religious, and were held every year .One of festivals they celebrated was New Year's Day, like we celebrate today.
For many people , it means a group of people coming together for some theme-an event. For many people and cultures , it has meant a day of thanks ,fun,joy and relaxation .
Many countries have their own festival or "feast ". The words Feast and Festival are historically interchangeable .
With all the benefits and positive things from a festival, we,like the Ancient Egyptians , forget our daily problems for a few days. That is something we can thank Cleopatra for.
