Ritual of penance of condemned heretics/apostates during the Spanish, Portuguese or Mexican Inquisitions
An auto-da-fé ( AW-toh-də-FAY, OW-; from Portuguese, meaning 'act of faith'; ) was the ritual of public penance, carried out between the 15th and 19th centuries, of condemned heretics and apostates imposed by the Spanish, Portuguese, or Mexican Inquisition as punishment and enforced by civil authorities. Its most extreme form was death by burning. Wikipedia
