Figure 1.-- Here we see a Whit Frifat walk in 1962. We are not sure just where in England. The girls wear prim white dresses. The boys do not werar white, but are wearing suits, in some cases school unifoirs. We think the walks were organized by the churches and church schools.

Whit Friday celebrations still occur, but or not as common as Whitsun celebrations. For some reason they seem especially prevalent in northwestern England. There are many church and chapel parades which campe to be called whit walks. They normally, but not always occur on Whit Friday, the friday after Whitsun. The parades often include brass bands and choirs. The girls participate often dress in white. The boys traditionally dressed up, but did not normally wear white.
