	Feast of Fools - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Feast of Fools, known also as the festum fatuorum, festum stultorum, festum hypodiaconorum, or fête des fous, is the varying names given to popular medieval festivals regularly celebrated by the clergy and laity until the 16th century in several countries of Europe, principally France, but also Spain, Germany, England, and Scotland.
		The Feast of Fools and the almost blasphemous extravagances in some instances associated with it were constantly the object of sweeping condemnations of the medieval Church.
		The Feast of Fools was finally forbidden under the very severest penalties by the Council of Basel in 1431 and a strongly-worded document issued by the theological faculty of the University of Paris in 1444, and numerous decrees of provincial councils followed.

	Feast of Fools
		This feast of the subdeacons afterwards developed into the feast of the lower clergy (esclaffardi), and was later taken up by certain brotherhoods or guilds of "fools" with a definite organization of their own (Chambers, I, 373 sqq.).
		During the second Vespers, it had been the custom that the precentor of the fools should be deprived of his staff when the verse "Deposuit potentes de sede" (He hath put down the mighty from their seat) was sung at the Magnificat.
		Seemingly this was the dramatic moment, and the feast was hence often known as the "Festum `Deposuit'".

	The Feast of Fools - History
		The medieval Feast of Fools seems to have developed out of various midwinter celebrations, both Pagan and Christian.
		One of its components was the Church’s Feast of the Holy Innocents, which combined traditions of a Children’s Festival, with the burlesque element of children taking over the roles of senior clergy; and the Play of the Ass, derived from the story of Mary’s flight into Egypt on a donkey to escape Herod's massacre.
