EDITORS COMMENTS
In this heartwarming snapshot from December 1982, the enchanting Nativity play is about to unfold at St Winnow Church of England Primary School in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The anticipation is palpable as the young performers, adorned in their meticulously crafted costumes, eagerly await their cue to bring the timeless story of Christmas to life for proud parents and delighted onlookers. The central figures of Mary and Joseph stand poised with grace and humility, radiating a sense of devotion that transcends time. Nearby, three majestic kings exude regality as they clutch their symbolic gifts fit for a newborn king. In contrast, shepherds embody simplicity and ruggedness while angels emanate ethereal beauty with their delicate wings unfurled. This scene showcases not only the talent and dedication of these Cornish children but also highlights the enduring tradition of celebrating Christmas through theatrical performances. It serves as a reminder that even amidst modernity's fast-paced world, cherished customs like these continue to bind communities together. Captured by photographer Jonathan Barker, this precious moment freezes in time an authentic portrayal of innocence and wonderment. As we gaze upon this photograph today at Royal Cornwall Museum, it invites us to reflect on our own cherished memories associated with school plays during festive seasons – moments that evoke nostalgia and warm our hearts year after year
