We had candles all over the place at our Easter vigil. No mother goose rhymes, though.
Now lots of innocous things are alleged to have pagan roots; morris dances, Christmas trees, Easter eggs, the English country dance Gathering Peas. I'm sure somebody somewhere has given pagan meaning to every rhyme in Mother Goose's melodies. But I'm betting the Mormon grandma doesn't know that. Some people have witchcraft on the brain! Which does kind of scare me.
