Happy May Day

When I was in elementary school, which was a private Christian school, we learned the maypole dance. It wasn't mentioned, of course, that the dance represented a pagan festival of fertility; the pole being the penis and the ring the vagina. I find it interesting and surprising we did this, looking back. It was a lot of fun, though.

I always found it fascinating how anti-pagan some proponents of Christianity are, yet are completely oblivious to how many Christian rituals/practices were actually stolen from pagan ones. Even holidays too.

Exactly, haha!
