Boar's Head Festival

Not every day does a well dressed camel enter church. Shadrach (his friends Meschach, and Abednego are back at the farm in Salem) came to be in the Boar's Head Festival with the Magi. For the 56ᵗʰ time Cleveland Trinity Anglican Cathedral has spent a day with the Christmastide service. A lot of fine costumes, processions, a Nativity play, and Christmas carols to see, hear, and sing. Good King Wenceslas makes an early appearance, St. Stephen was absent.
Before entrance, the Beefeaters (Yeoman Guard) gather with the rest of the cast.

 The waits (musicians) sing and dance the Wassail song.
 
 
 One of the Magi offers and smokes frankincense.
The boar's head processes out.
