Feast of the Ass
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.〔Francis X. Weiser. ''Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs''. New York: Harcourt, Brace, and World, 1958. Page 127.〕
==History==
This feast may represent a Christian adaptation of the pagan feast, Cervulus, integrating it with the donkey in the nativity story.〔 from Chapter XIII: Masking, the Mummers’ Play, the Feast of Fools, and the Boy Bishop, "Mr. Chambers's theory is that the ass was a descendant of the cervulus or hobby-buck who figures so largely in ecclesiastical condemnations of Kalends customs."〕 In connection with the Biblical stories, the celebration was first celebrated in the 11th century, inspired by the pseudo-Augustinian "Sermo contra Judaeos" c. 6th century.
In the second half of the 15th century, the feast disappeared gradually, along with the Feast of Fools, which was stamped out around the same time. It was not considered as objectionable as the Feast of Fools.〔K.A.H. Kellner, ''Heortology. A History of the Christian Festivals from Their Origin to the Present Day''. London, 1908. Page 164 (footnote). Cited in Weiser, 127.〕
