Druids unveil mystery of the mistletoe

Druids recreated an ancient ceremony at Britain's largest mistletoe market on Tuesday to honour the festive plant, traditionally held over the heads of those in the mood for a cheeky Christmas kiss. Devotees of the Celtic religion also revealed the little-known - and surprising - reasons why the festive sprig is just the job for those feeling both festive and frisky. Out to rediscover the plant's spiritual side, druids performed the blessing in England's self-styled 'Mistletoe Town', Tenbury Wells, in Worcestershire, England.
