EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Mari Lwyd - To wish you all your happiness on this coming Christnas Day" we are transported back to the 1980s in Wales, where tradition and customs come alive. The image captures a momentous encounter between the Mari Lwyd, a beloved Welsh New Year's tradition, and Carole Edmunds, the manager of the Rhossili Visitor Centre. The Mari Lwyd is an enchanting custom that involves a horse skull adorned with ribbons and bells being paraded through villages during the festive season. It symbolizes good luck and prosperity for the upcoming year. As we gaze at this photograph, we witness not only a meeting between two individuals but also a convergence of past and present. Carole Edmunds stands tall with pride as she embraces this ancient tradition, showcasing her dedication to preserving Welsh heritage. Her warm smile reflects her genuine appreciation for the cultural significance of the Mari Lwyd procession. This image serves as a reminder that traditions hold immense value in our lives; they connect us to our roots while fostering unity within communities. It encapsulates both nostalgia for bygone eras and hope for future generations who will continue these cherished customs. As we delve into this visual time capsule from Memory Lane Prints' Western Mail Archive collection, let us celebrate diversity by embracing age-old traditions like Mari Lwyd - symbols of joy, happiness, and shared experiences on Christmas Day or any other day throughout the year.
