HOW THE MAY DAY HOLIDAY BEGAN IN ENGLAND

Many hundred years ago there were many villages and few towns in England. The villagers liked to go into the forests and the fields when spring came. On the first Sunday of May they usually took a tree back with them and put it in the centre of the village. The children danced round it and the men and the women took part in games around it.

Later the international working class made the First of May their day of solidarity. The First May Day was celebrated in England in 1890. In London the workers marched from all places to a meeting in Hype Park. This demonstration showed their unity and solidarity. There have been many large May Day demonstration. The working people showed on those days their solidarity with the progressive people in other countries.
