Enter Poem or Quote (Required)Required I will admit that I do not know very much about the Beltane Fire Festival, in a place called Calton Hill in Edinborough, Scotland, except what I read about on line, in my investigation. It is a pagan festival that happens in spring to welcome summer. It happens outside when the sun goes down for three hours. There is a parade of the May Queen, representing strength and growth, and a horned God, representing life and growth. They are followed by dancers each wearing colorful mythical creature costumes, representing earth, fire, water and air. Following them are naked acrobats painted in red and blue paint. They gather around a fire burning high in the night sky to toast nature, the dead and the future. A rather dark festival that can easily get out of hand. There are very few barriers separating dancers and audience from close interaction, even face to face exchanges that are against their own 2 meter rule. So, the question is did the festival happen during the Covid-19 Lockdown in 2020, or go ahead? Well, their site says it was cancelled, but was it? I sort of think that it went ahead putting all who participated at risk for getting Covid, yet there is no proof that anyone did contact it. Should a festival such as this dark festival of otherworldly creatures be allowed to go ahead when places of worship are shutdown, it seems unfair. I am catholic and do you know how hard it was to have my church shutdown, and it is the same for many religions, but we did it because it was right to do. The question is should people be allowed to mingle willy-nilly, who in time, mingle with people beyond the festival. I think not. It is a moral decision, for a person attending such a festival willing to infect innocent people, old folks, people just going about their daily tasks, children and babies. Think about it . . . ______________________ March 04, 2023 Poetry/Prose/Which Fire Is Eternal Copyright Protected, ID 03-1529-385-04 All Rights Reserved, 2023, Constance La France Written for the Standard contest, Which Fire Is Eternal sponsor, Joe Maverick, Judged 03/10/2023 First Place
