  2. Festival Customs - May Day

    Share Share Post
    On the eve of May Day a white thorn bush is dressed in coloured ribbons and put standing in a heap of manure. It is left there until the leaves wither on it. Then it is burned in the fire. "A swarm of bees in May is worth guinea a day" If you whitewash the house in May the fairies will sweep the roof away.
