Stop and smell the roses on May Day 2020

It’s May Day errrbody! Whether or not the sky is blue, springtime is officially upon us. Since May 1st is such an internationally celebrated day, we thought it would be fun to take a closer look at the variety of traditions worldwide. Here at Casumo online casino, We also figured it would be the perfect occasion to suggest a couple of deliciously smelling, springy slots – hand-picked by Yours truly.

Worldwide May Day 2020 traditions

Scandinavian countries are renowned May Day celebrators and most of us are familiar with the images of people wearing white outfits, dancing around a Maypole in a lush green field with multi-coloured flowers in their hair. But besides our Nordic friends, what other traditions and celebrations are out there? Well, we did a bit of online researching and here’s what we found!

May Day 2020 in the USA

Sadly this has become a bit of a forgotten tradition over time, but in some parts of the United States, people used to celebrate May Day by creating colourful ‘May baskets’. They were small baskets filled with flowers and gifts, left at the front door of a friend, family member or someone they’d admire.

We’re so up for bringing this super cute tradition back to life!

May Day 2020 in Italy

At the ancient festival of Calendimaggio in Assisi (La Festa di Calendimaggio), people dress up in traditional wear and there’s a variety of activities to participate in, including horseback riding, crossbow-shooting competitions and the election of a Madonna Primavera (Spring Queen). You’ll also find singing competitions, feasts and flower dances to welcome the new spring and the renewed joy of life.

May Day 2020 in Bulgaria

On May Day, Bulgarians celebrate Irminden, a holiday which is associated with snakes and lizards and the rituals undertaken to protect the people from them. It’s said that during the days around Easter, snakes come out of their burrows, and on Irminden, their king comes out. Many people used to believe that those working in the fields on this day would be bitten by a snake, so in western Bulgaria people light fires and make noises to scare the snakes away.

May Day 2020 in France

A typical French tradition is to give the Lily of the Valley flower to your friends, lovers and family. This actually dates all the way back to 1561, when Charles IX presented Lily of the Valley to all the ladies present at his court.
