EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Pagan May Day festival at Padstow, Cornwall in 1966. As the clock strikes midnight on Sunday, May 1st, the streets come alive with an enchanting display of dancing and merriment. The image showcases a moment when the festivities are in full swing early Monday morning. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a mesmerizing scene unfolding before our eyes. A group of joyful participants clad in traditional attire twirl and sway to ancient rhythms that echo through the cobbled streets. Their exuberant movements reflect centuries-old customs and traditions passed down from generation to generation. The Golden Lion pub stands as a silent observer amidst this lively spectacle, its walls steeped in history and folklore. This gathering serves as both a fertility rite and a celebration of nature's rebirth after winter's slumber. It is an ode to life itself. Reg Lewis skillfully captures not only the physicality of dance but also its spiritual essence. Through his lens, he immortalizes this magical event where past meets present, bridging generations through shared rituals. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, it transports us back to a time when tradition reigned supreme and community bonds were strengthened by collective revelry. It reminds us that even amidst modernity's relentless march forward, there is beauty in preserving age-old customs that connect us to our roots.
