Why Tradition?

May day, as a human tradition, is just one small piece of evidence pointing to the order within man. God is a God of order. He created this world and man to live and govern it. Man, as an image bearer of the creator, creates, and one of those things he creates is tradition. Tradition grounds us in our homes, families, and communities. It gives us a sense of identity. It doesn't deny the mysteries of life their power, but instead looks them in the eye as a worthy competitor. Traditions help our children know what to expect even as they continually change. 

May day, as a small recognition of the first day of May, in which a man secretly brings a basket to the home of the girl he loves, is a fun whimsical tradition. It may seem small and insignificant, even quaint. Yet joy, spring, mystery, and love are all behind this small tradition. If nothing else, this mysterious little basket on a doorstep, brings delight. That we could bring delight to our homes through a small mysterious tradition like the May basket.
