Gathering Mistletoe in Normandy, 1933: A Timeless Holiday Tradition This evocative photograph captures the scene of mistletoe harvesters at work in the lush green forests of Normandy, France, in the year 1933. Mistletoe, with its iconic white berries, has long been a cherished symbol of the holiday season, and this image offers a glimpse into the history and customs surrounding its collection. Mistletoe was traditionally gathered in Europe during the winter months, and Normandy was one of the primary regions where it was harvested. The plant grew abundantly in the region's forests, and the mild climate made it an ideal location for its cultivation. The berries were carefully plucked from the branches, taking care not to damage the delicate foliage. The photograph shows a group of workers, likely local farmers or villagers, gathered around a basket, their faces focused intently on the task at hand. The mistletoe berries were then bundled and prepared for transport, much of which was destined for export to England. The tradition of exchanging kisses under the mistletoe, a practice that dates back to ancient Celtic and Norse traditions, had already spread to England by the Middle Ages. This image offers a fascinating window into the past, showcasing the rich history and cultural traditions surrounding the gathering and use of mistletoe during the holiday season. The photograph's timeless quality and the sense of community and connection it conveys make it a captivating addition to any collection, particularly during the festive season.
