It’s quite interesting and telling to consider how many modern “Christian” holidays and traditions have their origins rooted deep in paganism. May 1, shares in this heritage. Many Roman Catholics in particular celebrate Mary, Jesus’ mother, as Queen of Heaven or Queen of May on this day. A title also held by the pagan goddess of fertility known as Diana by the Ephesians or from antiquity as Artemis. As the mid-point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice, May 1 lent itself to the traditions of gathering wildflowers and green branches, weaving of floral hoops, hair garlands, and children dancing around the Maypole holding onto colorful ribbons. This ancient pagan celebration named Wittentide was likely intended to ensure fertility for crops, livestock and humans. Just another celebrated, counterfeit day, steeped in superstition meant to hide God and the rich meanings of His Holy Days.
