Well dressing
Apr. 24th, 2011 08:33 amMy friend Selenak just posted some photos of Easter well-dressing in Germany. The wells look lovely.
English well-dressing is mainly a Derbyshire tradition and isn't necessarily attached to Easter - Whistun is a popular date.
I remember when I was in my teens I went walking in the Pennines and just happened by good fortune to hit a week when many villages were dressing their wells. It's a lovely tradition and actively carried on today.
