effigies

Six different bonfire societies are holding processions through the East Sussex town and spectators will watch as huge effigies are paraded through the streets.

These modern effigies to mass production and over-consumption carry their own history, gained from both the seller in need and the tourist who purchases them.

Venezuelans set effigies on fire as part of an Easter tradition, while zookeepers in Chile treated their animals to Easter eggs filled with snacks.

The societies often keep their effigies a surprise until the day.

Chanting “Free Palestine” and “Crush the Zionists,” they burned two effigies draped with Israeli flags.
