Back around 1955, we celebrated May Day at our school with Maypole festivities. Never did understand that. Where did the Maypole idea come from - Marx?

May Pole I believe has pagan origins long before Marx.

Maypoles were a derivation of Druid/Pagan sprig time fertility rituals. The...original pole...the largest and most perfect column of the hardest wood in the land...was honored and decorated to enhance its...fertile potency.
