Example: In England, it was a common custom for a person to dress up like a bishop on certain feasts, such as St. Nicholas Day. They would braid their hair, wear a bishop's robe, and carry a crozier. They would then go around the town, acting in a silly manner, and collecting money or gifts from people.
