WHAT DOES MAY MEAN TO US?
In May, warm and smooth weather spurs people on to participate in nature activities, concerts, and open-air events. May is also the time that moms around the world get showered with love for Mother’s Day. But, without question, the most popular holiday in May in the U.S. is Memorial Day, the national holiday that is also known as the unofficial start to summer.
There are many other holidays in May, such as May 4, which is International Firefighters’ Day. On these holidays, most people choose to honor or thank the police and firefighters who serve us. An innovative way to honor the bravery and dedication of those who protect and serve is springing up in the form of challenge coins. These challenge coins are used as a symbol of appreciation and to identify members of a specific unit, as well as a morale booster. Police challenge coins are also a way to give back to the law enforcement community for the sacrifices they make every day. One way firefighters are honored is with the firefighter challenge coins, where firefighters who demonstrate dedication beyond the call of duty receive a coin.
There are also lesser-known observances celebrated relatively by lesser-crowded in May apart from those. There are month-long observances like National Photo Month, week-long observances like Youth Traffic Safety Month, and the Star Wars “May the Fourth” holiday revered by sci-fi fans the world over.
WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF MAY?
The month of May (in Latin, Maius) was named for the Greek Goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman era goddess of fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May.
Conversely, the Roman poet Ovid presents a second etymology that the month of May is named for the maiores, Latin for “elders” and that the following month (June) is named for the iuniores, or “young people”. Mayovka, in the context of the late Russian Empire, was a picnic in the countryside or a park in the early days of May, hence the name. Eventually, “mayovka” (specifically, “proletarian mayovka”) came to mean an illegal celebration of May 1 by revolutionary public, typically presented as an innocent picnic.
Moreover, special devotions to the Virgin Mary occur in May. As the important astronomical events, Eta Aquariids meteor shower appears in May. It is visible from about April 21 to about May 20 each year with peak activity on or around May 6. The Arietids shower from May 22 – July 2, and peaks on June 7. The Virginids also shower at various dates in May.
