　　The First of May is a Bank Holiday－the first public holiday of the year in England．

　　Most people consider it a special day, the beginning of summer, a day when the light lasts long into the evening, and when we can look for warm weather．We don't always get it．We feel disappointed, but not surprised if there are cold winds and frosts at night in May．Winter should be over．Most people know that in the past, when farming occupied almost everyone, the changing seasons were of great importance．In that older time there was every reason to celebrate May Day．Customs of those celebrations remain．

　　Of these customs, the best known is the choosing of a May Queen and the dancing round Maypole．Even these customs are little more than memories now－but in the last century it was quite common in villages and small towns, and even in schools and colleges, for a pretty and popular girl to be chosen Queen of the May．It was a great honour to be chosen．For a day she wore a light and flowery dress, carried garlands(花環(huán))，and was ceremonially crowned with flowers．She presided over a procession, as a rule with a number of attendants, and over the Maypole dancing and all kinds of entertainment．The Maypole was slender(苗條的)tree trunk, cut off its branches, with beautiful ribbons fastened to the top．The dancing was designed in such a way that the dancer's movements move the ribbons into a pattern．This, as you can imagine, required skill from the dancer, and was not achieved without practice．

　　It's the Celtic(凱爾特的)people who celebrated the First of May as a spring festival．Their celebration seems to have had little to do with taking pleasure in early, beautiful flowers and in warmer weather!They called it Beltane－the fire of the god Bel．They lit fires, in the expectation that their blaze would help the sun in its struggle to regain its strength．They drove their cattle between banks of flame in the expectation that the terrified beasts would be purified(凈化)and protected from disease．A tree, which must have been blackened with smoke, stood in the middle of the fires, and is thought to have been the origin of the Maypole．Their priests(牧師)made sacrifices to the goods in the hope of good harvests and sufficient store of food for the winter．There was dancing certainly, but it was noisy and cheerful, since its purpose was not to weave a pattern of colored ribbons, but to drive out evil spirits from the earth and to arouse those kind spirits．
