An eclectic group of Pagans gathered Saturday at Clapp Park to raise awareness and celebrate the Pagan religion for the fourth annual Pagan Pride Day.
“Paganism is a blanket term,” said Denise Guinn, co-coordinator for Pagan Pride Lubbock chapter. “It’s pretty much everything that is not the major three religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. A lot of people consider Pagans to be those that are nature-based, but that is not the case for everyone.”
The all-day event began with an opening ceremony by a local group, Yew Leaf Willow Grove.
