An '''auto de fé''' was the ritual of public [[penance]] of condemned [[heresy|heretics]] and [[apostate]]s that took place when the [[Spanish Inquisition]] or the [[Portuguese Inquisition]] had decided their punishment (that is, after the trial). ''Auto de fé'' in medieval Spanish (and in Portuguese) means "act of faith". The phrase is used most frequently in English in its alternative Portuguese form '''auto-da-fé'''.
