EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the Spirit of Christmas: A Timeless Tradition in West Wales". In this heartwarming photo print, we are transported back to a simpler time when the magic of Christmas filled the air. It is December 22nd, 1986, and in the picturesque village near Llandeilo, Wales, young Josie Olsen and Timothy James take center stage as they re-enact the Nativity scene. Dressed as Joseph and Mary respectively, their innocence shines through as they lead us on a journey to Bethlehem. The setting couldn't be more perfect - nestled amidst rolling hills and quaint cottages lies the Principality's most appropriate place for such an occasion. As tradition dictates, Joseph guides Mary into town on the back of a gentle donkey. The symbolism is not lost on anyone witnessing this annual spectacle; it serves as a reminder of hope and humility during this festive season. This image captures not only these two young actors but also showcases animals that have become synonymous with Christmas customs - donkeys standing proudly by their side. Their presence adds an authentic touch to this cherished tradition that has been passed down through generations. As we gaze upon this nostalgic photograph from Memory Lane Prints' Western Mail Archive collection, we are reminded of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and embracing timeless traditions that bring communities together. Let us cherish these moments where children embody ancient characters and remind us all what truly matters during Christmastime – love, faith, and unity.
