Thursday May 1 The Ancient Maypole Dances The origins of May Day stretch back to pagan times. The festival of Beltane, which marks the halfway point between the Equinox and the Solstice, has long celebrated the arrival of Summer in the Northern hemisphere. Traditionally, it involved dancing around Maypoles, decorating homes with May blossom, and getting together for feasting and dancing. More recently, it's recognised as a day to commemorate workers' rights. Whatever we're doing, showing appreciation for others spreads joy.
