Titel:
Maypole Dance, Easter Egg Roll, 1929
May Pole dance, at the Easter egg roll event sponsored by the White House. Maypole dancing is a form of folk dance from Germany, England, and Sweden. Historians believe the first maypole dance originated as part of Germanic pagan fertility rituals. Originally, the dancers danced around a living tree. While dancers usually perform this dance in the spring on May 1 or May Day, those in Sweden perform it during their midsummer celebrations. In the United States, the Easter Egg Roll is an annual event, and is held on the White House lawn each Easter Monday for children and their parents. The Egg Roll itself is a race, where children push an egg through the grass with a long-handled spoon. Surrounding events include appearances by White House personalities in Easter Bunny costumes, speeches and book-reading by Cabinet secretaries, and exhibits of artistically-decorated eggs. Photographed by the National Photo Company, April 1, 1929.
