jesters, clowns, chimney sweeps and musicians. Modern celebrations often feature Morris dancers and green clad revellers. May Day marks the time to celebrate that winter is finally over (in this hemisphere at least) and plants are sprouting!

Yesterday, I followed the magical procession of Bristol 'Jack in the Green'; a beautiful May Day tradition celebrating the return of summer. Dressed in leaves and flowers, Jack is paraded through the streets of the city by attendants, dancers and musicians, reviving a custom that dates back to the 18th century. Originally part of the chimney sweeps' May Day festivities, Jack symbolises fertility, growth, and the power of nature. Such a vibrant, joyful way to welcome the green of the summer season. Bristol knows how to keep tradition alive!
Keep an eye on my blog for more about Jack in the Green this week.
Have you ever seen Jack in the Green?

Happy May Day! This is hand-pulled lino block print of the Jack-in-the-Green (or Jack o’ the Green) an English folk tradition for May Day. Wearing a conical or pyramidal wicker or wooden frame covered in foliage so as to conceal the wearer, the Jack-in-the-Green leads a May Day procession, dancing often with musicians and other figures. 🧵1/2

This is hand-pulled lino block print of the Jack-in-the-Green (or Jack o’ the Green) an English folk tradition for May Day (though he looks a little like a dancing Christmas tree).
