1938 Cane Canes Marching Monday Pentecost Walk Walks Whit Whitsun Abertillery


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of the Whitsun Walk in Abertillery, South Wales, in 1938. Whitsun, also known as Pentecost, is a Christian holiday celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples of Jesus Christ. In this Welsh community, the occasion was marked with a traditional procession through the streets of Cwmtillery, a district of Abertillery. Men of all ages, dressed in their Sunday best, proudly march with canes in hand, their hats adorned with flowers. The Monday following Whitsun was a day of rest and recreation, and the walk provided an opportunity for the community to come together and celebrate. The men, some with their canes resting on their shoulders, others held high, exude a sense of camaraderie and pride. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Welsh landscape, with rolling hills and lush greenery in the distance. The weather is fair, with a few clouds scattered across the sky, adding to the idyllic atmosphere. The photograph, taken in the 1930s, offers a glimpse into the past, capturing a moment in time that has since become a cherished memory for the people of Abertillery. The Whitsun Walk was a long-standing tradition in the community, and this photograph serves as a testament to its enduring significance. The men, with their hats and canes, represent the resilience and spirit of the people of Abertillery, who came together to celebrate their faith and their community. This image is a poignant reminder of the power of tradition and the importance of coming together to mark the passage of time and the renewal of the spirit.
