James E. O. 1961. 311. (The representation of the May Queen and May King as bride and bridegroom is reminiscent of the sacred marriage in the Magna Mater Festival and as Kybele was responsible for the flowering of the fields, so the May Queen sat in an arbour wreathed with flowers, or in the porch of the church similarly adorned like her Romano-Phrygian counterpart seated in her mountain abode and receiving floral offerings from her votaries.)
