EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled "Customs of St. Swithin's Day," is a fascinating glimpse into the rich historical traditions of England. The photograph, taken circa 1887, depicts a lively scene of people celebrating the feast day of St. Swithin, the patron saint of travelers and farmers. According to an age-old English legend, if it rains on St. Swithin's Day, which falls on July 15th, it is said to continue raining for the following 40 days. In this photograph, we see a group of people huddled under colorful umbrellas, seeking shelter from the rain. A man in a mitre, presumably a clergyman, stands at the front, leading the procession. Geese and ducks wander around the scene, adding to the rustic charm. The quaint buildings and cobblestone streets in the background further emphasize the historical significance of the image. Despite the rain, the people seem to be in high spirits, enjoying the customs and traditions associated with St. Swithin's Day. The scene is a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of the English people, who have celebrated this tradition for generations. This photograph, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of St. Swithin's Day and the rich cultural heritage it represents.
