May Day, May Day

May Day can be a signal that assistance is needed immediately.
May Day is also a holiday through much of the world celebrating a number of things - Spring, work, the Revolution.

Read more about May Day by using GALILEO.

A Quick Search pulled up various articles from ProQuest talking about the party season that begins with May 1st to articles in LexisNexis reporting the events happening around the world this very day!

And of course The Oxford English Dictionary gives this definition:
1. The first day of May, traditionally an occasion for springtime festivities, and later also designated a holiday in honour of working people in many countries (also known outside North America as Labour Day: see LABOUR n. 8). Also: any other day near the start of May designated a public holiday (in the United Kingdom the first Monday in May).
