EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from December 1983, we are transported back to the heartwarming Christmas pageant held in Lostwithiel, Cornwall. The community centre is buzzing with excitement as characters of the Nativity eagerly prepare to embark on a journey around town. This enchanting event was masterfully organized by local historian and esteemed author Catherine Rachel John. As the evening unfolds, Mary and Joseph stand at the forefront, radiating grace and devotion. Dressed in traditional Cornish attire, they embody the spirit of Christmas with their heartfelt portrayal. Accompanied by a lively town band playing festive melodies, these dedicated participants set off on their joyous pilgrimage through Lostwithiel's charming streets. The pageant made several stops along its route where carols were sung passionately by all involved. The harmonious voices echoed through every corner of the town, spreading warmth and cheer to all who listened. It was truly a magical sight that united both young and old in celebration. Behind this remarkable image is photographer Jonathan Barker, whose lens captured not just an event but also an invaluable moment frozen in time—a testament to community spirit and tradition cherished for generations. This extraordinary display of unity was made possible thanks to the efforts of Lostwithiel's Chamber of Commerce who orchestrated this unforgettable evening for everyone's enjoyment. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, it serves as a reminder that Christmas transcends commercialism; it is about coming together as one big family—celebrating love, faith, and goodwill towards
