"My hooves are as tombstones, banging at your door."- Traditional Greeting


The Mari Lwyd

		The Mari Lwyd is a large puppet harness created for the show "Sita's Fire." In Wales, the Mari Lwyd, or "Grey Mare" is a Christmas tradition. Villagers put a horse skull on a pole, and take it from door to door, challenging home owners to a riddle contest. It's a little bit like trick-or-treating. A standard Mari Lwyd riddle goes something like this: "yuUUUUuurrgghhh?"
