EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1997, we are transported to the Museum of Welsh Life in Cardiff, where pupils from Ysgol Gymraeg Treganna in Canton have gathered for a festive Christmas workshop. The focal point of the image is the enchanting Mari Lwyd, beautifully worn by Sophie Elsmore, a ten-year-old student. Standing alongside her are Liam Confrey and Danny Margettes, also ten years old, as well as Angharad Jenkins who was on work experience at the time. Eilir Evans completes the group as an interpreter. The Mari Lwyd holds great significance in Welsh culture and traditions. This centuries-old custom involves a horse's skull adorned with ribbons and bells being paraded through communities during New Year celebrations. It symbolizes good luck and fertility for the coming year. As we delve into this snapshot of history, it becomes evident that these young individuals are immersed in their heritage and eager to learn about their country's customs. Their faces radiate excitement and curiosity as they engage with this unique tradition. Andrew Davies skillfully captures not only a moment frozen in time but also the spirit of community and cultural pride that thrives within Wales. This photograph serves as a reminder of how important it is to preserve our customs while passing them down to future generations – ensuring that our rich heritage continues to thrive for years to come.
