Jack in the Green is an English folk custom, part of the May Day celebration. A person is covered in a framework of green foliage and then marches in a procession with musicians. It began in the 18th century, though some folklorists equate it with earlier imagery (like the Green Man). #WyrdWednesday

How about one of Keith Leech creator of @jackinthegreen.bsky.social ?
