May Day Info

May Day

O May Day (1 de maio) é celebrado em algumas partes da Grã-Bretanha com a morris dancing. Em alguns pátios de colégio e povos ergue-se um maypole (mastro de maio) que é decorado com fitas coloridas. Cada pessoa dança atada a uma dessas fitas, uma atrás da outra, formando assim um bonito desenho em torno do mastro.
