A meeting of strawmen even
For gods sake imagine going to church in that gear
Mummers indeed
…all the mummers I know are universally pagan…
Actually mummers are a tradition apparently from Labrador and Newfoundland England and Ireland
They appear around the 12 days of Christmas
Troupes sing and dance if invited into peoples homes
I suppose they are Christian as it’s a Christmas tradition
I was just making a joke bisted
Google mummers I did and that’s what I found out
Violinist?… surely the presence of a bodhran indicates that she’s a fiddler?
Eurovision entry – give carpet man from Ukraine a run for his money…
Man those guys used to give me the serious heeby-jeebies when i was a kid, they still do !
They’d randomly barge into places at Christmas or at weddings too.
In they’d gallop and mischief, music and a dance or two would ensure and then they’d disappear to whatever wicker spaceship they arrived on.

I think that’s a Mummer spawning pod….the Mammy Mummer fashions the hay nest you linked to, lays her eggs and attracted by the odour males fertilise them with handfuls of 10-10-20.
It’s some kind of mothership alright, and one I’d be giving a wide berth… :-)
No berther man!
They wear their face coverings the way we all did recently- for appearance, except they don’t claim ‘science’ while doing so.
