EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of an ancient Easter tradition from the English north country, known as 'Easter Lifting' or 'Lifting.' Dating back to the 1850s, this custom was deeply rooted in the rural communities of England, where people would gather to participate in the communal event. The photograph depicts a group of villagers gathered around an old wooden chair, which has been placed on a makeshift platform. The chair, adorned with colorful ribbons and flowers, symbolizes the seat of authority and is believed to represent Christ's throne. The villagers take turns sitting in the chair, which is then lifted high above their heads by their fellow community members. This act symbolizes the triumph of Christ's resurrection and the renewal of life. The scene is filled with a sense of camaraderie and community spirit, as the villagers come together to celebrate this historical custom. The clothing worn by the participants reflects the era, with traditional working-class attire and bonnets adding to the authenticity of the image. The background shows a picturesque English countryside, with rolling hills and lush greenery, further emphasizing the connection between the people and their land. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a unique insight into the rich history and traditions of rural England during the 19th century. The Easter Lifting custom may no longer be practiced in its original form, but it continues to be a fascinating reminder of the deep-rooted traditions and communal spirit that once thrived in the English countryside.
