Impressions on May Day

            May Day on May 1 is an ancient Northern Hemisphere spring festival and usually a public holiday; it is also a traditional spring holiday in many cultures. Dances, singing, and cake are usually part of the celebrations.

In the late 19th century, May Day was chosen as the date for International Workers' Day by the Socialists and Communists of the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket affair in Chicago. In those countries that celebrate International Workers' Day, the day may also be referred to as May Day.   Which one do you celebrate?

I hope everyone has a great week ahead. Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.
