EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, members of the Cornish Gorsedd, a modern-day community of bards, take part in the Sword of Arthur ceremony and procession at St Just in Cornwall. Established in 1928, the Gorseth Kernow (Gorsedd of Cornwall) was set up to preserve and promote the national Celtic spirit of Cornwall. The bards, dressed in colorful robes and cloaks, gather around the Sword of King Arthur, an ancient symbol of Cornish heritage. As the ceremony comes to an end, each bard touches the Sword by placing one hand on the shoulder of the bard in front, swearing an oath of loyalty to "Cornwall our Motherland." With heads held high and faces filled with determination, they prepare to embark on the procession across the Plain-An-Gwary. The Cornish Gorsedd draws on the rich cultural traditions of the Celts, with a focus on literature, music, and the arts. The community's customs and practices reflect the ancient druidic beliefs that have shaped Cornwall's history and identity. The bards' commitment to preserving these traditions is evident in their passionate participation in the ceremony and procession. This photograph captures a moment of unity and pride among the bards, as they celebrate their connection to their ancestral land and the enduring legacy of Cornish culture. The image is a testament to the power of tradition and the importance of preserving the artistic and cultural heritage of our past.
