The “burning of the green” at Habersham, captured here by Ron Callari, refers to an annual Epiphany tradition at The Parish Church. It’s a spiritual event where Christmas trees are burned, coinciding with Epiphany (January 6). The burning represents purification, renewal, and the transition from the festive Christmas season to the solemnity of Lent and the Spring awakening, and coincides with an oyster roast.
