The Rites of May were carried out every Spring in England and other European countries (and still are in some country villages). They took place on May 1 or Beltane and involved games, drinking and feasting and dancing (especially Morris and Maypole dancing). There were also offerings to the Pagan gods seeking a good growing season and a good harvest. Many English villages still have the Maypole to the top of which coloured tapes are fixed so that children can weave patterns on the pole by dancing round it.

What is rite of sacramental disposition?

.Catholic AnswerThere is no "rite of sacramental disposition", I believe that you may be asking about the disposition for the valid reception of the sacraments. For instance, the state of grace (being free from serious sin, having received the rite of penance) is required to receive the Most Holy Eucharist at Mass. That would be the disposition required to receive the sacrament. In that case the "rite" would be confession.
