"...This is an excellent program. I'm so glad that I stumbled on to this when researching for task management programs. Very low learning curv, quite flexible, and the price is right. Tried at least 20 other programs, either too complicated, too expensive, or poor documentation..."

May Day Origin:

  • The first day of May is known as May Day. It began as a Pagan festival celebrated across the ancient Europe and it was dedicated to beginning of summer – time when warmer weather begins and flowers and trees start to blossom;
  • The ancient Romans celebrated the festival of Flora (goddess of fruits and flowers), which anticipated the beginning of summer season and was connected to spring fertility rites. It was held annually from April 28th to May 3rd;
  • The modern May Day is often associated with recognition of socialistic ideology as far as it had a great significance in all socialist countries (such as USSR), being grandiosely celebrated as International Workers’ Day. Nowadays, May Day is rather recognized as Labour Day which commemorates the fight for the eight hour day, and it is still often used to demonstrate protests;

She didn’t take a part in public games or dancing, but she sat on her “throne” decorated with flowers, wearing a flower garland (her “crown”) and observing the feast.
    • Maypole Dancing – people used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer, then they danced around these tree poles, holding at their hands long colored ribbons which had one of their ends attached to the top of the pole (that was richly decorated with flowers). This dancing resulted into enveloping the pole with a beautiful plaited pattern of ribbons.
  • May Day Garlands are the indispensable attribute of the feats. They are made to adorn people’s heads and decorate their homes. These garlands were created according to traditional methods to be made from fresh green leafs and flowers;
  • May Day Baskets are often made by little children who fill them with candies, spring blossoms or other ...
