maypole

maypole

Tall pole with long ribbon streamers attached to the top. It is used for traditional May Day dances to celebrate the arrival of spring.

The maypole probably represents the sacred tree which formed the centrepiece of pagan spring festivals. In modern survivals of the ceremony two circles of dancers, all holding streamers, move in opposite directions, weaving the streamers into a pattern.
