Feria
[fiәriә]
Definition
(noun.) (in Spanish speaking regions) a local festival or fair, usually in honor of some patron saint.
(noun.) a weekday on which no festival or holiday is celebrated; 'in the middle ages feria was used with a prefixed ordinal number to designate the day of the week, so `secunda feria' meant Monday, but Sunday and Saturday were always called by their names, Dominicus and Sabbatum, and so feria came to mean an ordinary weekday'.
