A feast is defined as a banquet or an elaborate ceremonial dinner party attended by many guests. It is experienced on a festive occasion by many people with great joy. The guests are delighted when they partake in a feast or a banquet. A banquet is usually a meal consisting of many courses which is well-prepared and enjoyed by a large number of people with great delight and gusto. To feast (one's eyes on something or someone) is to feed, gratify or satisfy oneself.

A religious feast is a feast that commemorates or celebrates certain concepts, occasions or events in the history of their respective religions.

In what sense?  A feast is a general word for celebration.  Do you mean in connection with the Catholic Church's liturgical calendar?  Please specify, as I don't want give a lengthy answer on the distinction between memorials, feasts and solemnities in the Catholic Church's calendar if that is not what your look for.
