May Day, also called Beltane (“good fire”), is a day that marks one of the four cross-quarter days, halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. On May Day we celebrate the fertility of the earth and the new spring growth, whether plants or animal. Traditions for this day include gathering May flowers, going “a-Maying,” smudging livestock and humans with smoke from that good fire, and best of all, a Maypole dance!
This Sunday, May 1st, we honor the energy of growth and fertility. Wear your dancing shoes for the Maypole dancing outdoors in the church garden or on Zoom. All generations welcome!
This multi-generational service will take place outside at SUUS. Children of all ages welcome. No reservations necessary. If you are unable to join us in person, please join us by Zoom. CLICK HERE for directions.
