Hagigah: Borrowed from Hebrew חֲגִיגָה (ḥagiga, “celebration, pilgrimage, festival offering”).
a. A sacrificial offering at one of the three pilgrimage festivals: Passover, Shavuot (Pentecost), and Sukkot (Tabernacles).
b. The tractate from the Talmud that deals with these offerings.
Hagigah is one of the tractates comprising Moed, one of the six orders of the Mishnah, a collection of Jewish traditions included in the Talmud.
It deals with the Three Pilgrimage Festivals (Passover, Shavuot, Sukkot) and the pilgrimage offering that men were supposed to bring in Jerusalem.
At the middle of the second chapter, the text discusses topics of ritual purity.
