It was celebrated in medieval England with the appointment of a #BoyBishop, empowered to give orders & sermons & distribute largesse to the poor - a focus for festivities & frivolities, at Clare Castle as elsewhere. The #tradition was suppressed by Henry VIII, but survives... https://www.liturgicalartsjournal.com/2021/01/customs-and-traditions-boy-bishop.html

The apple-throwing monkey

When I first visited Salisbury Cathedral in 2011, there was a challenge there to find some hidden things and curiosities.
One of them was to look out for a monkey throwing apples.
