Abstract:

Tradition has it that the feast of the boar's head began in 1300. St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Kinston carries on the tradition in full regalia. The church held its first one in 1990, and it occurs in early January on the Sunday nearest Epiphany. The Boar's Head and Yule Log Festival is a spectacular program of dance, music, and drama that is entertaining as well as inspirational.
