EDITORS COMMENTS
Pulling the Wishbone: A Timeless Tradition of Hope and Anticipation This photograph captures the essence of a cherished moment in the annals of folklore and custom: the pulling of the wishbone. The image, taken in the 1970s, transports us back in time to an era when such simple, heartfelt traditions held a profound significance in our lives. The two figures in the photograph, their faces filled with anticipation and excitement, are about to engage in a friendly contest. Their hands are poised above a turkey wishbone, an elongated, curved bone from the turkey's back. According to an age-old superstition, the person who draws the larger part of the wishbone is believed to be granted a wish. The history of the wishbone tradition can be traced back to ancient Rome, where it was believed that the bone of a rooster, sacrificed during the Saturnalia festival, held the power to grant wishes. Over time, this belief evolved into the more common use of a turkey wishbone during the holiday season. As the two individuals in the photograph prepare to pull, their eyes are locked on the wishbone, their expressions a testament to the depth of their desire and the power of their belief. The moment is filled with a sense of suspense and excitement, as they wait to see who will be granted their heart's desire. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of tradition, the importance of hope, and the simple joys that can be found in the most unexpected moments. The tradition of pulling the wishbone continues to be a beloved custom, passed down through generations, and a symbol of the human spirit's unwavering belief in the power of a single wish.
