@Newheightshow loved your curiosity and confusion about #mummering. It does have its roots in England. Mummering in its traditional form still happens in Newfoundland, Canada despite being outlawed for some years for being naughty and sneaky! https://t.co/zEUgDM87wJ
These tiny mummers are keeping the tradition alive. ✨🎶

A friend that I met at school had this concept for photographing different cultures. He threw out the idea of adding Newfoundland and once I told him about mummering.. it was game over😂 I’m laughing so hard at these lmao but they are so what we do in Newf #Newfpride #mummering

It is one of the most unique Christmas traditions in Canada, and in Newfoundland it dates back at least 200 to 300 years.
This is the story of mummering!
Mummering originated in England and Ireland, and eventually found its way to Newfoundland and Labrador.
Also known as janneying or mumming, it involves a group of friends dressing in disguise and visiting homes during the twelve days of Christmas.
As they knock on the door, the mummers ask "Any mummers 'lowed in?"
If the mummers are welcomed into the home, they will do informal performances. These can include music, jokes, dance and more.
The hosts in the home then must determine the identity of the mummers.
The mummers will try to fool the hosts by stuffing their costumes, speaking while inhaling, wearing masks and more.
Once the identities of the mummers are confirmed, they are offered food and drink.
The idea is that with the lifting of the mask of the mummer, the stranger becomes a friend.
In in the past, the mummers carried codfish bladders blown up like balloons. These are filled with pebbles so they rattle. These instruments are called swabs.
It is now more common for these "ugly sticks" to be broomsticks with bottle caps nailed on. A rubber boot is also attached at the bottom to create a head, with tin cans and a mop for hair.
In 2009, the Heritage Foundation of Newfoundland and Labrador's Intangible Cultural Heritage Office established the Mummers Festival. This is held in St. John's and includes a Mummers Parade.
In 2011, Mummering was designated as a Distinctive Cultural Tradition and Practice by the Newfoundland and Labrador government.

I am interested in speaking to someone from Newfoundland for a Holiday feature I'm working on about #mummering. If you've done it - and would like to talk about it, get in touch! #nlmummers
Anete Germane has provided an in-depth explanation in English about the Latvian Dievturi traditional celebrations from the late autumn and winter.
