Note: the Greek word agape is plural in this passage and “feasts” is interpreted by the translators by the portion “feasting together.”

(among the early Christians) a meal eaten in token of brotherly love and charity;
agape. a rite in imitation of this, practiced by a number of modern denominations; a fellowship meal.

WIKI-PEDIA:

[IT IS INTERPRETED GENERALLY BY THE “CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY” AS] "the highest form of love, charity" and "the love of God for man and of man for God". The word is not to be confused with philia, brotherly love, or philautia, self-love, as it embraces a universal, unconditional love that transcends and persists regardless of circumstance. It goes beyond just the emotions to the extent of seeking the best for others. The noun form first occurs in the Septuagint, but the verb form goes as far back as Homer, translated literally as affection, as in "greet with affection" and "show affection for the dead". Other ancient authors have used forms of the word to denote love of a spouse or family, or affection for a particular activity, in contrast to eros (an affection of a sexual nature). ⁱⁱⁱ
