EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the quaint village of Stoke St Gregory in Somerset, England, offers a glimpse into a unique and intriguing historical custom known as Egg Shackling. Shrove Tuesday, the day before the Christian season of Lent begins, has long been a time for traditions and festivities in England. One such tradition, still practiced in this village up until the 1950s, was Egg Shackling. Children, dressed in their best, would bring an egg to school on this day. The eggs were then placed in a sieve and gently shaken, allowing the weaker shelled eggs to be eliminated, leaving the strongest one standing. The child whose egg remained uncracked was hailed as the winner. The tradition was believed to bring good fortune and luck for the coming year. In this image, a teacher, donning spectacles, carefully oversees the process, ensuring fairness and order. A young girl, with her doll in tow, watches intently as her classmates' eggs are shaken in the sieve. The children's expressions of anticipation and excitement are palpable, adding to the charm of this historical moment. This photograph, taken circa 1950, offers a fascinating look into the past, showcasing a tradition that has long since been forgotten by many. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to experience a piece of England's rich and diverse history.
