Feast of Stephens


Fuck only knows why Irish people dress like this on St Stephen's day, but they do.

Saint Stephen's Day, celebrated on 26th December in Western Christianity and 27th December in Eastern Christianity.

    I had no idea about Wren Day and Wren Boys. How strange.

    Warbucks has been having his own Feast of Stephen while visiting here.
    Of course.

    And the uptight brigade here wonders why sensible people say "Happy Holidays" to everyone, instead of just ":Merry Christmas," sweetpea! xoxo

    Those Irish celebrating St Stephen’s day look like the Bushko celebrants of Hungary. Same strange and unique costumes as if from Africa.
