Kiama took some time the other day to tell me what Beltane is.
Today at work, I was looking at the postage stamps on my in-coming letters. And on a letter from the Republic of Georgia (now independent country of the ex-Soviet Union), there were two stamps. One had Russian Orthodox symbols on it, and the other was a beautiful picture, all in shades of greens, with people dressed in rather brightly coloured medieval clothes, obviously having a celebration, looking wild with happiness, and one of the participants is jumping over what is very obviously a Beltane fire.
I find this interesting that the Georgian Republic has made a stamp on this subject. Unfortunately, I can't ask the person I correspond with there to elaborate for me - I have to be extremely professional with him in order to get things running smoothly between us.

I'd like to see it... don't suppose you could scan it and add it as an attachment???
