As the festive season looms, it may come as a surprise to many in Lincolnshire that a once-beloved tradition, Crying Christmas, has fallen out of popularity. This distinct tradition was once an integral part of Lincoln’s festive celebrations, featuring carol singing and community gatherings that added a touch of warmth to the cold winter months. Local historians are now investigating ways to rekindle this tradition, viewing it as a chance to bring the community together and pay homage to our rich cultural heritage. Steps are being taken to reintroduce Crying Christmas through community initiatives and collaborations with local schools and choirs. The community’s involvement and participation are encouraged to help rediscover the joy and fellowship that this ritual once brought to Lincoln’s streets.
