(begin moved from Cleanup/Leftovers) Festa Needs other "festae," as it's also a Latin word, and this article bleeds into 'fete' and 'feast days,' doesn't it? 206.205.115.3 (end moved from Cleanup/Leftovers) Non-relevant. The word festa is a Latin word, plural of festum. It is excatly the same in italian and portuguese. And there are very similar variations: fiesta (Spanish), feast (English), fête (French), maybe more. Also almost equal religious festivities as the one described can be found in many other countries, including almost every, no matter how small, town here in Portugal--Nabla 16:44, 2004 Aug 25 (UTC)

 * Merge and Redirect to Festival, possibly move content to Culture of Malta as well. Kevyn 23:27, 25 Aug 2004 (UTC)
 * One of those comments up there is mine, from Clean Up. The problem I had then was that it took the word "festa," which is "feast" in Latin, and presumed that there was only one, and that one being the Maltese one.  I had been trying to insinuate that a cleaning meant coming up with all the languages that had that formation and possibly talking about how festa becomes the fete, the festival, and the feast day.  I know that such has not been done, and I think it cannot be done.  Delete. Geogre 02:28, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
