This year, the East's College of Heralds has prepared a Feast of Fools letter filled with completely documentable holiday names and armory.

The Feast of Fools was popular festival in medieval England and France, held on or about January 1, celebrating the biblical principle that "God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise" (1 Cor. 1:27). During the Feast of Fools, mock bishops, popes and other high officials were elected, servants and masters changed places, and other foolery and foolishness was celebrated.

This Feast of Fools letter, celebrating the holiday season, was prepared based on responses to a challenge to document holiday names and create holiday armory. Contributors to this letter of mis-intent include: Alesone Gray of Cranlegh, Edwyn le Clerc, Seraphina Golden Dolphin, Godefroy de Lisieues, Conall Blue Talbot, Lillia Pellycan, Violet Sea Star, Lilie Dubh inghean uí Mórdha, and, of course, myself.

Feel free to share this letter with anyone who enjoys heraldic silliness!

Edited to add: The link is being ornery. When you follow the link, you have to then click on KLoI at the top, then on the East 12-23-2015 link.

Best wishes for the holiday season,
