	Maypole - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The maypole is a tall wooden pole (traditionally of hawthorn or birch), sometimes erected with several long colored ribbons suspended from the top, festooned with flowers, draped in greenery and strapped with large circular wreaths, depending on local and regional variances.
		The Maypole as a simple pole is several centuries old in the United Kingdom, but the addition of ribbons is an invention of John Ruskin in the 19th century.
		The Maypole is usually erected on a village green and events are often supervised by local Morris dancing groups.
