🌼🌻💐CELEBRATING SPRING! 💐🌻🌼
May Day, typically celebrated on May 1st or the first Monday in May, celebrates our halfway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice!
How are you welcoming the return of Spring? Planting flowers? cleaning? Something els
May Day is rooted in agriculture. Springtime celebrations were filled with dance and song hailed the sown fields starting to sprout. Traditionally, Cattle were driven to pasture, special bonfires were lit, and both doors of houses and livestock were decorated with yellow May flowers.
Celebrations now, across Oklahoma and the U.S., speak to the “bringing in the May” with the gathering of wildflowers and green branches, the weaving of floral garlands, the crowning of a May king and queen, and the setting up of a decorated May tree, or Maypole, around which people danced.
