The Many Meanings of May Day

The Many Meanings of May Day

Does May Day have any meaning for you?  It is a day that has been celebrated for a variety of reasons in several cultures.

When I was a girl in Illinois, we gave May Day baskets to our friends.  The idea was to put a basket of flowers and candy on someone's doorstep, ring the bell, and then run away before they could see you.

What meaning will May Day have for you this year?    Will you be a "secret angel" for a neighbor?  Dance around a May Pole with friends?   Join a march for International Workers Day and Mother Jones?  Or perhaps wait until the 5th and join the celebration of Mexican culture with Cinco de Mayo!

Whatever feels right for you on Tuesday, let it be a day filled with at least inner sunshine – and hopefully outside as well.
