It's Flores de Mayo and Santacruzan time again in this coming month of May. In this connection, I would like to share the following theory which came into my mind as a result of my research work on the origins and meaning of folk and fairy tales that affect Filipino culture during my cultural work days in the 1980s. My theory is that the folk tale Snow White is a metaphor of Reformation – a reform movement within the Catholic Church resulting in the establishment of Protestant Church in the 16th century.
