Midsommarstång Table Top Replica - MADE TO ORDER

MIDSOMMARSTÄNG: the Midsommarstäng is a traditional Swedish maypole erected during Midsummer celebrations to represent fertility & Soring. There were many variations of maypoles all throughout Europe, but the most popular in Sweden nowadays is the cross with the two rings. It is also the maypole represented in Midsommar. It is common for children or young maidens to dance in various known movements & gestures around the pole, some of which are based off everyday tasks like folding laundry or washing oneself. Sometimes, the Små grodorna (“the little frogs”) is performed around the pole by the children, as well. The pole is often made of wood, fresh, leaves, & sometimes flowers & ribbons to symbolize Spring, fertility of the land, & to honor the trees.
