Happy May Day

Taken from Son's old religion book -

In the Roman Catholic tradition, May is observed as Mary's month, and May Day is usually a celebration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this connection, Mary's head (in works of art, school skits, etc.) will often be adorned with flowers.

And from Wikepedia - Another May Day tradition (fading in popularity since the late 20th century) is the giving of May baskets, small baskets of candy and/or flowers, usually left anonymously on neighbors' doorsteps.

Hoping y'all are doing fine.

Good Morning Kassie.

I also ment to say: What a lovely May Basket. I remember making may baskets as a child. Many times they were made of Dixie Cups. Or wall paper wrapped into a cone shape.

When I was a little girl in the 50's we still did May baskets in our neighborhood.

That charming custom is alas, gone.
