From Fortean Times:

Quote:

14 January.
[. . .]
Today is also the Festival of the Ass, commemorating the Flight into Egypt. In England, a beautiful woman holding a baby and seated on a decorated ass was led to church. The donkey was tethered to the altar, mock hymns were sung about donkeys and the priest's benediction was replaced by three brays, to which the congregation replied in kind.
