The '''Festival of the Supreme Being''' was a festival held on the {{Wiki|Champ de Mars|Le Champ de Mars}}, in the city of [[Paris]], [[France]] on June 8th, 1794.

==History==
The festival was organized by Robespierre's friend, [[Jacques-Louis David]], alongside fellow supporters of Robespierre.<ref>''[[Project Widow]]''</ref> A loose interpretation of the [[Templars]]' ideals, the idea of the "Supreme Being" had made Robespierre want to declare a inaugural holiday for his [[Cult of the Supreme Being|people]] as well as the new state religion. Despite a letter of warning from his [[Grand Master]], [[François-Thomas Germain]], Robespierre continued on with his festivities. Once the festival started, the [[Jacobins|Jacobin]] leader was already being opposed due to his multiple beheadings during his [[Reign of Terror|reign]].<ref name="The Supreme Being">''[[Assassin's Creed: Unity]]'' – [[The Supreme Being]]</ref>

However, through some investigation and sleuthing, [[Arno Dorian]] found incriminating evidence against Robespierre as he had selected names from the [[National Convention]] to be brought to the guillotine. His ally, [[Élise de la Serre]], also found Robespierre's [[wine]] and started to drug it to cause Robespierre to have hallucinations. While Robespierre continued with his speech, Arno filled the critics' pockets in the audience with Robespierre's list for the next executions. As the festival ended with a slurring Robespierre, the people had begun to turn against him as Arno's and Élise's plan to discredit him worked. As a result, his allies and support dissipated.<ref name="The Supreme Being"/>

==Behind the scenes==
Historically, the festival was planned too well as the atmosphere was stiff. The festival ultimately backfired and became one of the main factors of Robespierre's descent.<ref>{{WP|Cult of the Supreme Being}}</ref>
