May day is well known for a spring celebration, called Beltane. where traditionally druids celebrate the season of life. and today many people dance around a pole colorful ribbons in hand embodying the spirit of pan, horns and all. choosing a May queen, and hanging May baskets on doorknobs. many fruitful women get pregnant on this warm spring day, humping somewhere in a meadow, birds and bees buzzing.

it was traditional to light a fire to honor the sun and the longer days the spring season is famous for. an honored bow to the flora and fauna of nature celebrating the fertility and abundance of spring.
The Worker's May Pole 1894
The Worker's May Pole 1894 by Walter Crane
during the up rise of peoples rights in the mid 1800's; may day evolved to include celebrating workers rights. humanitarians all over the world fought to have a celebrated day off.
