| Info: The Feast of the Ass (Latin: Festum Asinorum or asinaria festa, French: Fête de l'âne) was a medieval, Christian feast observed on January 14, celebrating the Flight into Egypt. It was celebrated primarily in France, as a by-product of the Feast of Fools celebrating the donkey-related stories in the Bible, in particular the donkey bearing the Holy Family into Egypt after Jesus's birth. In the festival a girl and a child on a donkey would be led through town to the church, where the donkey would stand beside the altar during the sermon, and the congregation would "hee-haw" their responses to the priest. Lyrics Orientis partibus Adventavit Asinus Pulcher et fortissimus Sarcinis aptissimus. Hez, Sire Asnes, car chantez, Belle bouche rechignez, Vous aurez du foin assez Et de l'avoine a plantez. | |
