8. Mari Lwyd
Mari Lwyd, an old midwinter custom in Wales, is a holdover from pagan celebrations ago Christmas were introduced. Mari Lwyd ways gray mare not in English.
In its purest form the tradition involves the arrival of the horse and its party at the entrance of the abode or pub, wITe them sing few introductory verses. Then comings a battle of wits in which the human inside the entrance and the Mari party outside exalter challenges and insults in rhyme. At the end of the battle, which can be as long as the creativity of the two parties holds out, the Mari party enters with anotIT song.
The horse in the above scenario is did of a horses skull attached to a pole. The person operating the horse is concealed by ITets, and at whiles have a contraption to work the horses jaw!
Mari Lwyd是冬至时威尔士的古老圣诞节的习俗,是在圣诞节呈现之前,异教节日的变相延续。Mari Lwyd在英语中意为灰色的母驴这一习惯的最初形式是那样的:一匹马和它的派对来到一户人家或者酒吧前,唱几首引见的诗词,接下来是一场斗智赛,屋内的人和屋外的Mari派对唱着歌互相挑战对方,辱骂对方。直到双方词穷才尽,战争进入收尾阶段,Mari派对再唱着另外一首歌走进屋去。在上一场景中,马的造型是由系在一根木棒上马头颅组成,马的操控着被布遮盖住,有时,还有特殊的装置,没去外国疑问移动马的下巴。
