Sacred Clowns
	The Sacred Clowns are just one of many intriguing trickster figures. For centuries, perhaps millennia, and in the widest variety of cultural and religious belief systems, humans have told and retold tales of tricksters, figures who are usually comical, yet  serve to highlight important social values. They cause laughter, to be sure, as they profane nearly every central belief, but at the same time they focus attention precisely on the nature of such beliefs. It is important we know that laughter is not only fun, it is sacred. It is important that we value laughter in ourselves, that we value those sacred clowns who bring laughter to us, and that we resist those evil beings who would steal it from us.Laughter and the Sacred Clowns were considered holy and sacred in all old cultures around the world.
