    HAPPY MAY 1st / MAY DAY !

    HAPPY LABOUR DAY !


    May 1st or May Day, is a day, which is a holiday in many countries around the world.
    It’s a celebration of spring, a day for organized labour, a day for political protests, it is a neopagan festival, and a saint’s feast day.
    For most countries May 1st is also Labour Day, or International Workers’ Day (also known just as “May Day”), which celebrates the social and economic achievements of the labour movement and left-wing movements. It commonly sees organized street demonstrations and marches by working people and their labour unions throughout most of the world.


    May Day was designated an international labour day by the International Socialist Congress of 1899, and it remains the standard Labour Day worldwide, with a few exceptions, including Canada and the U.S.A., it was a major holiday in the Soviet Union and other communist countries, it was the occasion for important political demonstrations.

    May 1st is a national holiday in more than 80 countries (it is also celebrated unofficially in many other countries), including:
    Albania, Argentina, Aruba, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Bolivia, Bosnia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, China, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Hungary, Iceland, India, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, Latvia, Lithuania, Lebanon, Macedonia, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Mexico, Morocco, Myanmar (Burma), Nigeria, North Korea, Norway, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Poland, the Philippines (spelled as “Labor Day”), Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Serbia, Sweden, Syria, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine, Uruguay, Venezuela, Vietnam, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

    In Europe, May 1st is also a day for traditional springtime celebrations. It probably originated in pre-Christian agricultural rituals. Celebrations included a May king and queen, a Maypole, and people carrying trees, green branches, or garlands.
    May Day marks the end of the half of the year in the Northern hemisphere, and it has traditionally been an occasion for a variety of popular celebrations, regardless of the locally prevalent political or religious establishment.

    As Europe became Christianized the pagan holidays lost their religious character and either changed into popular secular celebrations, as with May Day, or were replaced by new Christian holidays as with Christmas, Easter, and All Saint’s Day. Beginning of the twenty-first century, many neopagans began celebrating the old traditions of May Day as a pagan religious festival again.



    I wish all who celebrate it


    HAPPY MAY 1st / MAY DAY !
    HAPPY LABOUR DAY !

    Have a peaceful and joyous time.

    Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ “Working Class Hero” – by John Lennon
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVEnm-LZozU&feature=relat...

    "Working Class Hero" is a song from John Lennon's first post-Beatles solo album.
    The song is a take on the class split of the 1940s and 1950s, and of the 1960s in which he was famous. The song appears to tell the story of someone growing up in the working class of capitalism. According to Lennon in an interview with Jann S. Wenner of Rolling Stone magazine in December 1970, it is about working class individuals being processed into the middle classes, into the machine.
