MAY DAY

The month of May is named in honour of the goddess Maia, originally a Greek mountain nymph, later identified as the most beautiful of the Seven Sisters, the Pleiades.

May Day celebrations and festivities were once the highlight of the year in every town and village through Britain. Traditional May Day celebrations included dancing around maypoles and playing games.

The word 'March' comes from the Roman 'Martius'. This was originally the first month of the Roman calendar and was named after Mars, the god of war. In this month we celebrate:
