May Day

This article is about the holidays celebrated on May 1. For more information on the labor-related holiday, see International Workers' Day. For other uses, see Mayday.

May Day occurs on May 1 and refers to any of several public holidays in many countries.^[1] May Day is synonymous with International Workers' Day, or Labour Day, which celebrates the social and economic achievements of the labor movement. As a day of celebration, however, the holiday has ancient origins and can relate to many customs that have survived into modern times. Many of these customs are due to May Day being a cross-quarter day, meaning that it falls approximately halfway between a solstice and an equinox.
