May Celebrations?

Fertility Rights!

The traditional May day celebrations around the May pole that many of us once enjoyed as children in Britain seems to have been lost today in hub-bub of religious identity?

This was a pagan festival brought into the Christian tradition marking the fertility rights of the spring season and new life! Even the Roman occupation adapted the festival and added colours to it!

We tend to forget very quickly as the seasons pass in the year the significance of Christmas and Easter, the Ascension and Pentecost as nothing more than another Christian holiday and yet Easter is the most prolific?

Since it deals with the New Life of the individual from the slave master of Satan to the servant of God!

John 5:29,   11:25,   Romans 8:11,   1 Peter 3;11.
