Isn't the Maypole a modern day remnant of the ancient Asherah pole referenced in the Bible as a symbol representing a female deity known as the goddess of happiness and fortune. The women danced around this pole thinking that it would grant them enhanced fertility.
@@marcomartins3563 I think you are right about that but it is probably difficult to document. What is interesting to me is that the streamers that dancers wrap around the pole form a helical shape much like the DNA molecule. This was before the shape of DNA molecule was ever discovered. During fertilization the molecule unwinds and genetic information is shared between the egg and sperm. So the symbolism is accurate as the dancers wind and unwind the streamers from the May Pole.

John: 1515 the maypole is a ancient European tradition, it has nothing to do with the Jewish belief of Satan. In fact the maypole has been around longer than Christianity itself.
PsychedForLife* Eva it is satanic in the sense of the fertility god worship. Without going through the history of it, and keeping it simple, your right.
Dominic the Bible says where all the other gods came and that they where the fallen sons of the Most High God. They rebelled. In fact there’s 3 rebellions in the Bible from sons of God. The God of the Bible is the creator of everything including the other gods. So no those horned pagan god getting ribbons around it’s shaft do not predate the narrative of the Bible. Thay are all apart of it. So dancing around the shaft of a god in a fertility ritual is satanic because all the other gods are in rebellion with Satan the god of this world from the creator.
I remember us dancing around the Maypole in school. 😄
We did this dance at my elementary school, every year on May 1st. Of course it was in the 60's!
im in elementary school rn i have may day on may 5th and today is may 1st
Beautiful tradition...keep it alive

Yea, your right looking back that was pretty stupid.lol sorry
@@kaekaekaekaekaee it's alright. Beautiful tradition anyways
@@kaekaekaekaekaee white people in the US and other countries are ethnically European. People bring their traditions and customs with them.
Happy May Day 2024
Never heard of this until yesterday
THE MAY POLE IS ALSO BIG IN OUR JAMAICAN, BLACK CULTURAL HISTORY !!!!
Because of british influence 😂
We still do it every year in my town, then we burn a puppet that looks like a snowman to “banish the winter”
Burning effigies sounds a a little pagan to me
I read about this on a calendar 1968
Happy May Pole Day.
It's also my birthday!🎉 Today!
Better times of kids
Teaching May Day to kids
Watching this after MIDSOMMAR
I want to see the movie, but it did not reach in the cinema, and I do not find it on the internet.
@@Ariicapa wait so you were just randomly looking up videos of maypoles or are you redearching for when u watch midsommar?
Edgar Gonzalez 100%.
You should watch wicker man if you liked midsummer (make sure you watch the original not the 2006 that one sucks)
Am I really the only one who is learning about May Day in ELA class and thought they meant a different kind of pole dancing?
Yes.
No longer celebrated in London, instead this year we had a vast breaking of Fast, Ramadan celebration in Trafalgar square. Our London Mayor felt no need what so ever to mention.
Wicker man
Goodmorimayday
At least it's not the other kind of pole dancing
WEAVE A MAYPOLE IS A USUAL THING.

Absolutely that's what I read about it. that's why I'm on you tube to find more information
Isn't the pole a masculine symbol? Like a phallus?

It comes from the Celtic tradition, this was considered the beginning of summer ( the growing season).
@@christinehetherington9256
Maypoles tend to be associated with Germanic heritage so, not 'Celtic' at all.
May for Mary
Your opinion
@@strangerinwhite no not opinion. Fact.
Cringe christian cope.
@@philotheasbliss
The linking of Mary to May is apparently an 18th century Catholic Church creation.
So, not relevant unless you are RC.
@@YorkyOne the tradition is Catholic. Orthodox do not recognize this
This is remind me of dark shade Spongebob's edition 😂
Who’s Katherine Hepburn ?
Really
Where´s the ¨I´m dying laughing¨ emoji? Katharine was the #1 ranking actress from the classic film era. She won the most academy awards of any actor/actress in film history.

its still part of English culture, German and other European cultures. But obviously Americans got to take it
@Ramen Lover ???
@Ramen Lover lmao what are you talking about

Satanic
