EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of ancient tradition coming to life in the heart of the English countryside on Boxing Day, 26 December. The Minstead Mummers, a troop of dedicated Boy Scouts, have revived the medieval Mumming plays, a custom rooted deep in English history. Dressed in vibrant streamers and handcrafted wooden hats, these young performers bring a spectacle unlike any other to the quaint village of Minstead, nestled within the New Forest. The Mumming plays, an intriguing blend of storytelling, music, and dance, have their origins in medieval times. These performances were believed to ward off evil spirits and ensure good fortune for the coming year. The Minstead Mummers' revival of this ancient custom adds a unique touch to the Christmas festivities in England. The wooden hats and colorful streamers worn by the Mummers create a striking contrast against the backdrop of the forest, emphasizing the connection between the natural world and the rich cultural heritage of this land. The spirit of community and tradition is palpable in this photograph, as the Minstead Mummers continue to keep alive the customs of their ancestors, ensuring that the ancient tales and stories live on for generations to come.
