You can see (in the word-cloud above) that this book's headings' focus (that I haven't already 'done') is |Feast|, a word built on the proto-word *fasno- "|Temple" (from *dhis-no- "Divine, Holy, Consecrated |Place," from *dhes- 'Religious concepts' ... related to 'a big meal' because such Joyful gathering frequently feature food). 
The Hebrew word used was חַג (chag) "a #Festival Gathering, Pilgrim |Feast|"---also translated "|Festival| Sacrifice."

on which are also built #Feasted #Feasting #Feasts #Festivals
 #Festive #Festivity #Festus
