EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of Palm Sunday celebrations in the quaint fishing village of St Ives, Cornwall during the 1970s. The scene unfolds on a residential street in Halsetown, where Father John Harper of St John's in the Fields leads a procession of parishioners, carrying palms and hymnals, as they follow a donkey adorned with palm fronds and a large cross. The community comes together in this simple yet profound display of faith, with the Anglican priest dressed in his vestments, leading the way. The joyful atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of a lively brass band, adding a festive air to the occasion with their tubas and trombones. The buildings and houses lining the narrow street create a picturesque backdrop, their whitewashed walls and thatched roofs reflecting the Cornish sun. The sense of unity and tradition is palpable, as the community comes together to mark the beginning of Holy Week. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring power of faith and community, and the simple yet profound ways in which it can be expressed. The image transports us back in time to a simpler era, and invites us to reflect on the importance of connection and belonging, both within our own communities and within the wider world.
