Reviving the lost tradition of egg clapping

Over the Easter weekend, children around the world took part in egg hunts to celebrate one of the most important festivals in the Christian calendar.

But in one corner of Wales some partook in a slight variation of this popular tradition – egg clapping.

The activity was practiced on Anglesey in the 19th and 20th Centuries before undergoing a demise from about the 1960s as rural traditions began to disappear.

However, a local organisation is leading efforts to revive the practice on the island as part of wider efforts to celebrate and protect local heritage.
