Zusammenfassung: | A professor at the University of British Columbia in Canada describes the annual May Day celebration held in New Westminster, British Columbia, and traces its roots in and evolution from May Day festivities in England. Interwoven with Stanfield's description of the New Westminster May Day is a history of May Day's origins and variable celebration rituals, which originate in an ancient Celtic rite welcoming the spring season. Contemporary May Day celebrations often include folk music and morris dancing. |
