{{Main|Agape feast}}
The word {{transliteration|grc|agape}} is used in its plural form ({{transliteration|grc|agapai}}) in the New Testament to describe a meal or feast eaten by early Christians, as in [[Epistle of Jude|Jude]] {{bibleverse-nb||Jude|1:12|KJV}} and [[Second Epistle of Peter|2nd Peter]] {{bibleverse-nb|2|Peter|2:13|KJV}}. The {{transliteration|grc|agape}} love feast is still observed by many Christian denominations today, especially among [[Brethren (religious group)|Brethren]] and other Plain, [[Anabaptist]] churches. For example, among the [[Old Order River Brethren]] and [[Old Brethren]], a weekend is still set aside twice a year for special meetings, self examination and a communal Love Feast as part of their three-part Communion observance.
