BRITAIN-ENTERTAINMENT-TRADITION

The Holly Man, the winter guise of the Green Man, a character from pagan myths and folklore, arrives on a row boat on the river Thames during a performance in a folk play near the Globe Theatre in central London on January 4, 2015, in celebration of Twelfth Night, marking the end of the twelve days of winter festivities. Twelfth Night celebrations in the traditional agricultural calendar mark a last chance to make merry before returning to the rigours of work on Plough Monday.
