In the past, in many countries, there were ceremonies to welcome the spring. In pre-Christian times they were intended to encourage a good harvest in the summer and autumn. We see some revived festivals, with instrumental music, singing, dancing and little plays. Flora Day in Helston is very popular. There is a song with old words and a well-known tune. The people in the picture are wearing lilies of the valley, called Helston lilies. Unfortunately, there was no Helston Flora this year because of the virus.
