May Interfaith Calendar

"Hooray, Hooray, it's the First of May!"  That was the happy declaration in my family on this morning, all of us rejoicing in green leaves, bright blossoms and warm, sunny days.  Indeed, May 1st is no less intoxicating now than it was in childhood, especially when one gloriously beautiful day spills into the next.  May is a month that makes you feel glad to be alive!

I imagine this must be how Pagans feel, too, during the ancient fire festival of Beltane.  Observed on May 1st, this heady celebration falls midway between the vernal equinox and the summer solstice.  Dancing around the May Pole, courting couples, fire rites and fertility rituals mark the coming of summer and hopes for a fruitful year.
