I have multiple posts related to the Red Nose Day. I will include them at the end of this post. If you have not read them, you should. They contain a lot of other information that you need to know to make an informed decision about whether you want to align yourself with these jokers.
I thought I knew what I was going to post this year, but the Lord showed me some new connections that were really amazing.

What is Red Nose Day?
Red Nose Day is an annual fundraising campaign to end the cycle of child poverty and ensure a healthy future for all children. (What a joke. What have the accomplished in any of those areas?? Since 2016 things for our children around the world have gone from bad to worse, to insanely perverse!!) Since 2016, Red Nose Day has raised over $324 million and positively impacted the lives of over 32 million children.
Red Nose Day is a program of Comic Relief US, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. (Phony Philanthropy)

Red Nose Day Returns May 25 for Its Ninth Year To Raise Money, Change Lives and Build Healthy Futures for All Children
Record-Breaking Success of 2022 Campaign Paves Way for Even Greater Impact in 2023, Strengthening Red Nose Day’s Multi-Faceted Approach to Tackle Root Causes of Child Poverty and Position Children to Thrive in the Long Term
NEW YORK, NY (APRIL 10, 2023) – Comic Relief US’ annual Red Nose Day campaign is back on May 25for its ninth year, raising life-changing funds to help end the cycle of poverty and ensure children are safe, healthy, educated and empowered across the U.S. and around the world. The campaign’s iconic Red Noses, symbolizing hope and positive change, are on sale nationwide starting today at longstanding Red Nose Day partner Walgreens.
With the incredible commitment from partners Walgreens and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and the support of NBC, celebrities and the millions of Americans who generously donate each year, Red Nose Day has created a powerful community of change since it began in the U.S. nine years ago. The campaign has raised over $324 million, with funds raised providing medical care, food, shelter, education and more to over 31 million children.
The power of the Red Nose has sparked a nationwide movement of impact since 2015 through the campaign’s unique, multi-faceted approach to tackle both the consequences and root causes of child poverty from many angles across four key pillars: health, safety, education and empowerment. In addition to trying to remove systemic barriers, Red Nose Day-funded programs also strive to provide long-term solutions that set children up for a lifetime of success. Comic Relief US had a record-breaking year in 2022by raising over $50 million, and its flagship Red Nose Day campaign was the most successful to date.
“This year, Comic Relief US is building on the momentum of our most successful fundraising year ever in 2022 by broadening our transformative community of grantee partners and increasing funding for programs addressing ongoing social inequities,” said Alison Moore, CEO of Comic Relief US.
“It’s an honor to help these organizations become even bigger changemakers in the lives of the children and young people they serve in the communities most impacted,” Moore added. “And we are so grateful for our partners and the millions of people who support Red Nose Day, allowing us to invest in organizations and social impact programs that help build healthy lives and futures that all children deserve.”
Supporters can buy the campaign’s beloved Red Nose exclusively at nearly 9,000Walgreens and Duane Reade locations for just $1 each and can also donate in stores via pin-pad at checkout. The simple gesture of buying a Red Nose or making a donation has become a powerful way to change lives, one nose at a time, with one hundred percent of all proceeds benefiting Red Nose Day. Donning Red Noses celebrates the campaign’s annual tradition of people coming together across the country to have fun, raise money and make a real difference in the lives of underserved children.
NBC is supporting the Red Nose Day campaign across the network and through cross-portfolio programming features.
Other partners returning for this year’s campaign include the Critical Role Foundation, eBay for Charity, Hikma Pharmaceuticals and British Airways, along with new partner, Names for Good.
Millions of children suffer from the devastating effects of poverty, for reasons that include systemic social and economic barriers to health, housing and education, intergenerational poverty, conflicts like the war in the Ukraine and weather-related disasters brought on by climate change. These complex challenges are especially devastating for vulnerable children whose basic needs are not being met, creating considerable barriers in communities most impacted by inequity. The UN estimates that 339 million people worldwide will need assistance in 2023, 25% more than in 2022.
Red Nose Day funds transformative programs from 50 trailblazing organizations, large and small, in the U.S. and globally, with expertise in implementing community-led solutionsto ensure that all children thrive and have access to a healthy future. These organizations include Children’s Health Fund, Coded by Kids, Start Early, The Ali Forney Center, Save the Children, Grow Dat, The Concilio, Feeding America, The John Hopkins Center for Indigenous Health, the Malala Fund, Per Scholas, Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, The Global Fund, Covenant House and more. (Well, you have a list of “organizations” you know you should avoid!)
Through the success of the annual Red Nose Day campaign, Comic Relief US has been able to expand and diversify their approach to include year-round activationsthat support children, families and communities. This expansion includes the recently announced Kids Relief campaign, which funds programs fostering empowerment, leadership, educational access and economic opportunities for young people.
Red Nose Day, created by Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning writer-director Richard Curtis, (“Love Actually,” “Bridget Jones’ Diary,” “Notting Hill”), launched in the UK in 1988. Since then, Red Nose Day campaigns in the UK and the US have together raised nearly $2 billion globally.
Hundreds of stars have supported Red Nose Day in the US, including Jack Black, Courteney Cox, Idris Elba, Lisa Kudrow, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Paul Rudd, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, the Jonas Brothers, Tony Hale, Sebastián Yatra, Milo Ventimiglia, Blake Shelton, Ed Sheeran, Mindy Kaling, Coldplay, Daniel Craig, Will Ferrell, Kenan Thompson, Jane Lynch, Sean Hayes, Kristen Belland many more. (No surprise, we already knew most of these folks were connected to the elite, for one reason or another. Again, good list of who to avoid.)

 At Names For Good, our mission is to be a force for good in the world. Since our inception in 2020, we have donated over $200,000 (!!) to charities and organizations that are dedicated to improving the lives of children around the world.
Names for Good professes to be all about children. Their business/Non-Profit/Phony Philanthropy is build around selling bracelets that can be easily made by even a 4 year old, very cheaply. There model is a name bracelet, it is centered by the name of the child or whoever is the ultimate owner/wearer of the braclet. In today’s society, with children disappearing right and left, being taken from homes, schools, on the street, at the park or from group events, the WORST POSSIBLE thing you can do is give a child a BRACLET THAT ADVERTISES THEIR NAME!! That make them the absolute easiest target for anyone who wants to do them harm!! |

If you have not read my post on Phony Philanthropy, Read IT! The organizations this “charity” partners with are all highly questionable. If you research them for yourself you will find they are owned/operated by the ruling elite/freemasons/Satanists. Organized charities are mostly corrupt.

When did Red Nose Day begin?
The charity Comic Relief was introduced on the BBC live on Christmas Day in 1985. It was set up by film writer and director Richard Curtis and friends. The first Red Nose Day was held on the evening of 5th of February 1988, and this was also the first time people could buy the famous Red Noses. This first eight-hour Red Nose Day telethon raised £15m and was watched by 30 million people!

| Sticking out your tongue is a sign of rebellion
“Whom are you mocking? Against whom do you open your mouth wide and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, the offspring of deceit,” |
We think @Rylan‘s first night camping went well….#FrozenRedNoseDay https://t.co/U5OrJaXznR
— Comic Relief (@comicrelief) February 9, 2023
The 34-year-old presenter and TV personality is attempting to reach the summit of the snow-capped Cairngorm mountain along with Emma Willis and Oti Mabuse to raise money for the charity Comic Relief.
The trio set off from the village of Braemar, near Aberdeen, on Wednesday morning and made their way through the foothills of the Southern Cairngorms before setting up camp in windy conditions.
He told the PA news agency on Thursday: “My body is shot. I’ve managed to somehow bruise my face (and) my collarbones from the rucksack so today carrying that (will) be quite difficult.
“I’ve not actually slept, which is quiet gutting because my… sleeping bag didn’t fit me. It’s been a bit of a nightmare so far.”
Clark added that the 40lb (18kg) backpack, which contains his tent and other supplies, was “constantly putting pressure” on him when they walked for seven-and-a-half hours on Wednesday.
Asked if he thinks he can make it on the second day, Clark said: “I’ve not really got a choice… in an ideal world, I would just get on a plane and go home, but then I’ve not done the challenge so I need to just keep going.
“Luckily, the girls have slept, so I’m sure they’re going to be dragging me through today.”
The Circle presenter Willis said sharing the tent with Clark and Mabuse featured a lot of “rolling” from all three which did not help her sleep.

She added that they were “too scared” to leave from 7.30pm until 6.30am in the morning due to outside temperatures being around minus 2C.
The 46–year-old said: “I feel like I’ve been awake every hour because every time you turn over you wake up so it’s kind of delirious asleep. I think I’ve slept but actually I feel like I’ve been awake all night.”
She added: “So we’ve kind of had a really good downtime from (the backpacks) but I think the minute we put them on this morning, it’s going to be pretty savage again.”
Mabuse, 32, said her toes are cramping from the cold, her back is “aching” from her backpack, and she has been running around the camp to keep warm.
The former Strictly Come Dancing professional added: “When we got to camp, I fell to my knees and I felt like crying at the end of the day one; day two is even more walking.”
The trio still need to reach the summit of the mountain, which is 4,085ft (1,245m) above sea level.

| Cairngorms
The Cairngorms consists of high plateaux at about 1,000–1,200 m (3,300–3,900 ft) above sea level, above which domed summits (the eroded stumps of once much higher mountains [4]) rise to around 1,300 m (4,300 ft). Many of the summits have tors, free-standing rock outcrops that stand on top of the boulder-strewn landscape.[5] In places, the edges of the plateau form steep cliffs of granite and they are excellent for skiing, rock climbing and ice climbing. The Cairngorms form an arctic-alpine mountain environment, with tundra–like characteristics and long-lasting snow patches. |

Sir Jony Ive, the former Apple designer responsible for such iconic products as the iPhone and iMac, has returned to the design arena with an unusual project: He has created the red nose for this year’s Comic Relief charity event in the U.K.
Comic Relief is a British comedy-themed charity that raises money for a range of causes. It is responsible for the yearly Red Nose Day telethon, featuring comedians and other celebrities, and members of the public are encouraged to buy a red nose to wear on the day, which takes(took) place Friday, March 17 this year (in Great Britain). The design of the nose is tweaked each year.
As might be expected from the man behind so many iconic products, Ive’s design is ambitious and something of a departure for both him and the nose. With the ability to compress into a flat crescent, it’s largely made of delicately folded paper—the charity says the materials are 95 percent plant-based, after agreeing in 2021 to stop making the noses from single-use plastic—and looks faintly reminiscent of the HomePod’s mesh.

Note that there is a separate Comic Relief charity in the U.S. (it’s known as Comic Relief Inc) and a separate Red Nose Day. Sadly, Ive’s design won’t be used for that event.

origami – art – Also known as: paper folding
origami, also called paper folding, art of folding objects out of paper to create both two-dimensional and three-dimensional subjects. The word origami (from Japanese oru [“to fold”] and kami [“paper”]) has become the generic description of this art form, although some European historians feel it places undue weight on the Japanese origins of an art that may well have developed independently around the world.
Origami
German educator Friedrich Froebel (1782–1852), inventor of the kindergarten, was an avid proponent of paper folding and its educational benefits, and he helped to spread paper folding around the world. Three basic types of folds are associated with him: the Folds of Life (basic folds that introduced kids to paper folding), the Folds of Truth (teaching basic principles of geometry), and the Folds of Beauty (more-advanced folds based on squares, hexagons, and octagons); the famed folded and woven paper Froebel star, a popular Christmas craft and decoration, was named after him but was likely invented by someone else. About 1880 those Froebelian folds were introduced into Japan and Japanese schools, and it was about that time that the word origami began to be used to describe recreational folding. German contributions to paper folding continued with Rudolf Steiner’s first Waldorf school (1919), in Stuttgart, Germany, which emphasized assorted hands-on activities including origami, and with the Bauhaus school of design (1919–33). Bauhaus used paper folding as a means of training students in commercial design, and revered Bauhaus teacher and artist Josef Albers was especially adept at creating dome-shaped structures from flat sheets of paper.
Tessellations: A geometric folding technique in which the image is created by the pattern of folded edges across the paper. Tessellations are often periodic (repeating) and may be flat or three-dimensional, and many of them exhibit further structure when held up to the light. Not surprisingly, many of the leading practitioners of this technique have been mathematicians.

Chinese paper folding
History
Paper was first invented by Cai Lun during the Eastern Han Dynasty era. In the 6th century, Buddhist monks carried paper to Japan.[1] The earliest document showing paper folding is a picture of a small paper boat in an edition of Tractatus de sphaera mundi from 1490 by Johannes de Sacrobosco.
 Tractatus de sphaeraDe sphaera mundi (which means of the sphere of the universe , also called Tractatus de sphaera or simply De sphaera ) is a medieval work written by Johannes de Sacrobosco around the year 1230 that introduces the basic elements of astronomy . Largely inspired by Ptolemy ‘s Almagest and adding ideas from Arabic astronomy, it was one of the most influential works on astronomy in Europe before Copernicus . The first edition appeared in 1472 in Ferrara , and more than 90 editions were printed in the next two centuries. RIGHT: Sphera of the universe , by Johannes de Sacrobosco , translated by Ginés de Rocamora in 1599. |
However it is very likely that paper folding originated much earlier than that in China and Japan for ceremonial purposes. ( i.e. religious ritual, spiritual purposes) In China, traditional funerals include burning folded paper, most often representations of gold nuggets (yuanbao). This practice probably started when papers gradually become popular and cheaper in China, and it seems to have become quite common during the Song Dynasty (905–1125 CE).[2] In Japan origami butterflies were used during the celebration of Shinto weddings to represent the bride and groom, so ceremonial paperfolding had probably already become a significant aspect of Japanese ceremony by the Heian period (794–1185) of Japanese history.[3]

Comic Relief’s famous Red Nose has undergone its “most dramatic makeover” since debuting in 1988 after being redesigned by former Apple guru Sir Jony Ive.
The new nose is made almost entirely from plant-based materials and starts as a tiny, flat crescent that springs into a honeycomb paper sphere when opened.
Sir Jony, chief design officer of Apple Inc from 1997 until 2019, helped develop the company’s flagship devices including the iPod, iPhone and MacBook during his tenure.
Money raised from the appeal will support people struggling with the cost-of-living crisis and tackle issues such as homelessness, mental health problems and food poverty.
Comic Relief co-founders Richard Curtis and Sir Lenny Henry have enlisted actress and comedian Diane Morgan to make a tongue-in-cheek short film launching the new product.
In it, Morgan compares the design to Earth before hailing the importance of “the perfect circle” and describing how the new model is “the most perfect nose in history”.
Asked what the public would make of it, Curtis told the PA news agency: “I hope they’ll love it. I hope they’ll be greedy for it, I hope it’ll become an absolutely mass, must-have item.
He added: “I’ve got this motto in life, which is to make things happen, you have to make things. And that’s always been the sort of Comic Relief thing. So I hope it’s a big hit.”
Speaking about what Comic Relief has meant to him in his life, Curtis said: “It’s been an enormous confirmation of the goodwill of the British public.
“I always believe that if you open a door, an easy door for people to do the right thing, then millions of people pour through it.
“And I think that all the comedians, so many actors, every year we shock ourselves by suddenly getting, you know, Dame Judi Dench and Benedict Cumberbatch to help us.
“But mainly the British public, with their generosity at every turn, in terms of fundraising, buying things and watching the TV show.”
Sir Jony said: “We’ve grown up with Comic Relief and are proud to support their remarkable work.
“This new and seemingly simple Red Nose has been a fabulously complex little object to design and make and has involved our entire team.
“We hope it brings a little moment of joy to everyone who wears one.”
Meanwhile, James told the Standard: “Weirdly, apart from my parents, Red Nose Day is the biggest constant in my life. Since I was about five, I was obsessed with it at school, I would be obsessed with all the Noses. Then when I got the chance to work with Red Nose Day and Comic Relief quite a few years ago, I just jumped at the chance, and I’ll never leave. They will never get rid of me.
“I’ve had so many great times with Comic Relief and Red Nose Day. We’ve done trips, built hospitals – I’ve even done stupid challenges on bikes and climbed mountains. We’ve been involved in loads of Radio 1 things. We’ve done the LOL-a-thon which was just 24-hours of jokes. We’ve done so much. Some of my favourite life memories have been involved with Comic Relief.
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the world has been quite sad, particularly over the last three to four years. So, anything that brings people together is a great thing and Red Nose Day focusses everyone’s attention. It’s a great moment to just look outward – which is something a lot of people forget to do. When you’re stressed and sad and panicking about your own life you sometimes forget to look out. So, Red Nose Day is a great reminder to look outward and help somebody else.”

New red nose: Why children under 7 can’t wear Comic Relief’s ‘complex’ 2023 design
Comic Relief’s famous Red Nose has undergone its “most dramatic makeover” in its 35-year history.
Comic Relief’s famous red nose has undergone its “most dramatic makeover” in its 35-year history after being redesigned by former Apple guru Sir Jony Ive.
The new nose is made almost entirely from plant-based materials and starts as a tiny, flat crescent that springs into a honeycomb paper sphere when opened.
Ive, who helped develop the iPod, iPhone and MacBook, described the new design for Red Nose Day 2023 as a “fabulously complex little object”.
But not everyone is happy with this year’s product, with a primary school worker saying she was disappointed under-7s will not be allowed to wear it.
The Comic Relief shop page states the £2.50 nose is “not suitable for children under 7 years of age due to small parts”which makes it a potential choking hazard.
“I work in a primary school and kids from 3 to 11 love buying the noses as part of our fundraiser. Why has @comicrelief created a nose for limited ages?”
Comic Relief said the design of the new nose necessitated using small parts and it would be releasing more products for children soon. To fit a variety of noses, we use a hinge which requires small parts. “We hope to reduce the age restriction next year & will pass your feedback on.
Comic Relief co-founders Richard Curtis and Sir Lenny Henry enlisted actress and comedian Diane Morgan to make a tongue-in-cheek short film launching the new nose.

The Ringling Bros (THE MOST FAMOUS CIRCUS AFTER THE ROMAN CIRCUS!)
Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus In 1956 John Ringling North, cousin of the original Ringling brothers, cited economic and labour problems in announcing that the “Greatest Show on Earth” would abandon its big top and in the future perform only in permanent exhibition halls and sports arenas. Indeed, economic necessity forced American circuses to model themselves after their European counterparts, in that the tented circus eventually gave way to shows performed in huge indoor arenas. For many this announcement signaled the imminent demise of the circus. A year later, however, promoter Irvin Feld (whose family would purchase the Ringling organization in 1967) organized the first large-arena tour for the circus. Its success ensured the future of American circuses for decades to come. The circus flourished in the 1950s, ’60s, and ’70s in the United States, despite anxiety over its future and the disappearance or reorganization of such stalwarts as the Bertram Mills and Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circuses during the 1950s and ’60s. In 1969 the Ringling organization fielded two complete circuses, the “red” and “blue” units, which performed for 11 months each year and between them visited nearly every major American city, with occasional performances in Canada and Mexico. Beginning in the mid-1980s and continuing into the 21st century, more than 30 major circuses toured the United States and Canada, while dozens more—some lasting an entire season, some for only a few weeks or for single engagements sponsored by local groups such as the Shriners—also performed.

Freemasonry traces its origins to a builders guild from 13th century Europe. It features secret rituals to advance within the organization, scaling up by levels and degrees. The rituals include oral pledges (oaths) and secret symbols that Paul found out later were the same used by witches and warlocks.
In one of the first rituals, the inductee is instructed to say and memorize what Freemasonry is: “A peculiar system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols,” he says.
“I didn’t really understand what I was saying,” Paul recounts. “‘Peculiar’ means it’s a warped morality. Every symbol that is in Freemasonry are the same symbols as is in the covenants that the witches and the warlocks take to assume their obligations and promises into their different degrees, different levels. I didn’t know that.”

Why Do Clowns Wear Red Noses?
Love ‘em or completely terrified of them, there’s no mistaking clowns when they’ve donned their signature red noses. The feature is a classic part of the costume, but it is likely traced back to a trio of brothers in a circus family.
The Fratellinis were a family of performers; the patriarch, Gustavo, was a trapeze artist, while his sons—Paul, François, and Albert—worked as clowns. When Paul’s partner Louis died in 1909, he and his brothers became a trio, with each one taking on a unique persona: François retained his traditional role as the elegant, pompous, white-faced clown; Albert, as the hapless, ragged Auguste, designed grotesque new makeup with high black brows, an exaggerated mouth, and a bulbous red nose (a makeup style that influenced countless subsequent clowns); and Paul joined the act in a new role, the notary, with little makeup and a comic style midway between those of his brothers.
The Auguste clown has since become its own kind of character; generally the joker in the act, the oddball who wears ill-fitting clothing and has exaggerated features—including a bright red nose. One of the most famous clowns in history is reported to have helped develop the Auguste character.
In the years following World War I, Lou Jacobs performed with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and became a career clown, entertaining for six decades. His obituary in The New York Times noted that “Mr. Jacobs’s whiteface makeup with its gargantuan, goofy smile, outlandish eyebrows and plum-sized nose was the emblem for the Ringling circus, and he may have been the world’s most famous living clown.” (By the way, he’s also credited with popularizing the now-iconic clown car!)
If there is any uncertainty of Jacobs’ legacy, his costume—including his red nose—was so iconic that when his image was put on a postage stamp in 1966, he became one of the first living people to be honored on the medium. (He’s often incorrectly stated as the first, but the likely actual first was the 1945 “Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima” stamp, where half of the six were still alive when it was issued.)
One legend surrounding the red nose dates back to before both the Fratellinis and Jacobs: As the story goes, in the 1860s, a German circus performer named Tom Belling was wearing oversized clothes and ended up being accidentally pushed into the ring of the show. (The reasoning for his attire and how he found himself in the spotlight varies from tale to tale.) One consistency is Belling falling, bloodying his nose and the crowd chanting “auguste”—German slang for “fool”—at him. Thus, the buffoon stereotype of the Auguste clown, as well as the signature red nose, was born.
While Belling’s story frames the iconic clown image as a happy accident, many regard the tale as more legend than truth. The exact origin of the clown nose is uncertain, but its role in pop culture is much more assured. Clowns and their signature red noses are as much a symbol of the circus as the tents themselves.

Auguste Clowns
The Auguste: (pronounced Aw goost) falls in the middle of the clown line up, right between the White Face and Tramp. The word Auguste is believed to come from a German slang word for idiot or buffoon, as the first character of this kind was played to be clumsy and not very bright.
The Face
The makeup base is a blend or orange and pink tones, more close to a Caucasian skin tone than that of the white face. Red, white and black are the common colors for the facial accent features, but sometimes other colors are used as well. Albert Fratellini, an early Auguste Clown, is credited for introducing the red nose to the clowning world. Lou Jacobs is one of the most recognizable Augsute clowns with his trade mark pointed head, over-sized plaid suit, tiny clown car and a Chihuahua named Knucklehead. Lou Jacobs performed most of his career with the Ringling Brothers Circus.
The Look
Wardrobe of an Auguste can be described as a tailor’s nightmare with a mix of plaids, stripes and checkered patterns all in one outfit. Clothes fitting too large or too small are also a key trait of the ensemble. Bright colors are also very fitting for the Auguste.
Behavior
Often played as an overgrown child or simpleton the Auguste could easily be described as a halfwit, innocent like a child or blissfully unaware. This character is commonly the comic relief to the White Face but a step above the Tramp or Hobo. The Auguste can also be quite impish and cause trouble for the other clown brigade.

circus. (n.) late 14c., in reference to the large, oblong, unroofed enclosures used for races, etc., in ancient Rome, from Latin circus “ring, circular line,” which was applied by Romans to circular arenas for performances and contests and oval courses for racing (especially the Circus Maximus ), from or cognate with Greek kirkos ” “a circle, a ring,” perhaps from PIE *kikro-, reduplicated form of root *sker- (2) “to turn, bend.” The adjective form is circensian. In reference to modern large arenas for performances of feats of horsemanship, acrobatics, etc., from 1791, sense then extended to the performing company itself and the entertainment given, hence “traveling show” (originally traveling circus, 1838). Extended in World War I to squadrons of military aircraft. Meaning “lively uproar, chaotic hubbub” is from 1869. |

Etymology. First attested in English 14th century, the word circus derives from Latin circus, which is the romanization of the Greek κίρκος (kirkos), itself a metathesis of the Homeric Greek κρίκος (krikos), meaning “circle” or “ring”. In the book De Spectaculis early Christian writer Tertullian claimed that the first circus games were staged by the goddess Circe in honour of her father Helios, the Sun God.[5]
