bozodog Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 How did they manage to hijack May Day into: "National Mobilization to Support Immigrant Workers"?Roots of May Day celebration in America:The Puritans frowned on May Day, so the day has never been celebrated with as much enthusiasm in the United States as in Great Britain. But the tradition of celebrating May Day by dancing and singing around a maypole, tied with colorful streamers or ribbons, survived as a part of the English tradition. The kids celebrating the day by moving back and forth around the pole with the the streamers, choosing of May queen, and hanging of May baskets on the doorknobs of folks -- are all the leftovers of the old European traditions.
