Very cool feature! As close as I live to Philly, I've never really known anything about what the Mummer's parade is. And nice to see Matt and friend providing music😊
It was a tradition for us to decorate the Christmas tree with wrens, their legs being attached by "spring" clips to the boughs. Oh, the cats really like them, too 😆
Thank you for the history. This is the first I knew about Wren Day.

Surely, one of the best "non kilt" presentations. Excellent editing.
Learned something about the saint I'm named after. Thanks Erik.
Never heard of this celebration. Remember studying St Stephen as a youngster in Sunday School. Just remember he was stoned.
The wren the wren the king of all birds
Wish we had this in America, so cool.
In Newfoundland we have these traditions, especially mummering, there's a song about it and all
Thank you. Lovely.
Thanks for sharing!
Intriguing, thanks.
Some of your 'Strawboys' pictures are actually Shetland Skeklers. This was an old Norse 'halloween' tradition in the Northern Isles of Scotland.
