A History of May Day
May Day is on the 1st of May and we celebrate it with a bank holiday. May Day highlights the time when the weather is beginning to get warmer after a cold winter. It has been celebrated for over 2000 years.
You
may now also see some Morris dancing. It is a form of English folk dance usually accompanied by music. Morris dancers dress in different bright costumes. They dance to lively music and shake handkerchiefs and bang sticks together.
In the past, folks would crown a pretty girl May Queen. She would sit in a flowery chair and watch
the dancers.

ResponderEliminarIn Spain, on the first day of May, we celebrate Labor Day. That day people don´t go to work and there are demonstrations. May 1 was chosen in commemoration of the Chicago Martyrs, wich was a group of anarchist unionists who were executed in Chicago for claiming the 8-hour workday.
Kisses.
