    Share Share Post
    On May-day the children make a may-bush They get a white-thorn bush and put flowers and ribbons on it. They also put candles on it. They stick the tree down in the ground and light the candles. Then they go around the tree singing hymns. The tree is put up in honour of the Blessed Virgin. The tree is taken down that night.
