Never heard of Beltane??

It is the one non-Abrahamic holiday that was not adopted by Christians. It encompasses Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Mummer's parade, and Thanksgiving all at once and is the greatest holiday in all creation.

I'm not sure if the Morris dancing part is associated with Beltane.I always thought that it was Saxon.
