Fun ways to celebrate May Day!
|
It's May Day is this Wednesday! May Day, also known as Beltane, is a holiday rich in tradition and rooted in agriculture. It marks the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice and has been celebrated worldwide for thousands of years. May Day traditions include dancing around the Maypole, making flower crowns out of fresh or faux flowers, delivering May Day baskets, and “Bringing in the May” or gathering cuttings of flowering trees for your home. May Day is also the day that many people would go barefoot for the first time starting with a walk in the morning dew at sunrise. In Hawaii, May Day is Lei Day.” That means those who live on the islands make gorgeous handmade flower leis to gift and wear to celebrate this special day.

We hope you enjoy the fullness of spring and the abundance it can bring! Enjoy the fullness of spring, Nell |
