Large stone church with an elaborate tower against a cloudy sky
In late March, St Clement Danes Church, London, holds a ceremony in which oranges & lemons are given out to local schoolchildren. The church claims to be the one in the famous 'Oranges & Lemons' rhyme - these fruits were once brought ashore at a nearby quay. #FairytaleTuesday #history #folklore

The fair maid who, the first of May,
Goes to the fields at break of day,
And washes in dew from the hawthorn tree,
Will ever after handsome be.

'Apple tree, apple tree, hide me,
So the old witch can't find me
If she does she'll break my bones
And bury me under the marble stones'.

An artist's Iris in Chinese style.
In some parts of China, if you hang an iris above your door in late spring, it will not let evil enter that place. A symbol of spring and thus renewal and life, evil spirits are repelled. Eating the iris will help to prolong life, goes ancient flower lore. #FairytaleTuesday
