In Christianity , a moveable feast or '''movable feast''' is a holy day -- a feast or a fast -- whose date is not fixed to a particular day of the calendar year but moves in response to the date of Easter , which date varies according to a Complex Formula . By extension, other religions' feasts are occasionally described by the same term. In addition many countries have secular holidays that are moveable, for instance to make holidays more consecutive; the term "moveable feast" is not used in this case however. Further, by Metaphor ic extension but with the meaning of a Party that was on the move, Ernest Hemingway used the term ''A Moveable Feast'' for the title of his Memoir s of life in Paris in the 1920s . This usage has become a popular phrase in Food contexts, with several catering companies adopting it as their name. MOVEABLE FEASTS IN CHRISTIANITY
