Wren Boys
Wrenboys (Irish: Lucht an dreoilín) are Mummers who celebrate the Wren (also pronounced as the Wran) in various parts of Ireland on St. Stephen's Day (December 26) by dressing up in straw masks and colourful clothing and, accompanied by traditional céilí music bands, parade through the towns and villages. The tradition also exists (or existed) in various parts of Britain, especially Wales.
