  • Morris dancers from Beorma Border Morris dancing troupe in Kings Heath pose for a photograph after visiting a local friend on May Day under Coronavirus lockdown on 1st May 2020 in Birmingham, England, United Kingdom. These two women from the Beorma Morris are wearing their full costumes including rags and tatters, fishnet tights and feathers, and with distinctive blackened faces. Many morris sides through history blackened their faces, and Blacking up is reputed to have been as some form of disguise because the performers many of whom had jobs in agriculture, were begging, which was both illegal and could bring them shame. If so, the black face must have been a custom that saved face on the part of dancers and audience alike. The Coronavirus or Covid-19 is a new respiratory illness that has not previously been seen in humans. While much or Europe has been placed into lockdown, the UK government has put in place more stringent rules as part of their long term strategy, and in particular social distancing.

  • May Day custom of Deptford Jack in the Green, a man encased in a framework entirely covered with greenery, is one of the lesser-known modern revivals by the Blackheath Morris Men of English traditional customs on May 1st 2016 in London, United Kingdom. Traditional Morris Dancing in Greenwich. Fowlers Troop Jack in the Green was revived in the early 1980s. Originally a revival from about 1906, it developed from the 17th Century custom of milkmaids going out on May Day with the utensils of their trade, decorated with garlands of flowers and piled into a pyramid which they carried on their heads. By the mid eighteenth century other groups, notably chimney sweeps, were moving in on the milkmaids territory as they saw May Day as a good opportunity to collect money, so carried a Jack in the Green. Over the last 25 years several popular festivals have grown up around the Jack in the Green tradition. Deptford Jack in the Green is not very widely known although it has been running since the early 1980s.
