Dressing the Well

Picture
A custom from old Britain that I'd like to see become popular here in the USA is Well Dressing. It is an ancient tradition with roots in Paganism that has become Christianized. Dressing the Well involves placing flowers and trinkets around a sacred well. It is done at the famous Chalice Well in Glastonbury, but also at numerous smaller springs in towns and in the countryside. There is a whole festival dedicated to the tradition in the Peak District, which is where the above photo is from. Sometimes clay tablets are used to press flowers into to form a picture. You can see more of these on my Facebook Page, British Isles Folkloric Tradition. ​https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=british%20isles%20folkloric%20tradition
