The fairest feast
Churches tap creativity to portray medieval pageantry of Boar's Head festivals
[Episcopal Life] For three years, a cast of more than 200 people rehearsed and prepared for medieval-style revelry in Connecticut. In January, parishioners of Trinity Church in Southport presented their first Boar's Head and Yule Log Festival with the cooperation of Southport Congregational Church.
Entire families from both churches participated in the cast, led by retired Bishop Clarence Coleridge of the Episcopal Diocese of Connecticut, and his wife as the lord and lady of the manor; John Bedford Lloyd as the minstrel; and a brass quintet and percussionist assembled by Trinity Choirmaster Charles Dodsley Walker. Live animals -- a camel, a donkey and a peregrine falcon named Isis -- added to the spectacle. The performance was produced and written by Jean Whitney.
