Ο Μαϊος μας έφτασε
εμπρός βήμα ταχύ
να τον προϊπαντήσουμε
παιδιά στην εξοχή
Με στεφάνια
κολαϊνες
και λουλουδιασμένα μάτσα.
May 1st is a double holiday in Greece. We celebrate the labor strikes and the protests for the working rights in memory of Chicago’s events. At the say time we take the opportunity to celebrate Spring. So everybody goes out in the country, collects flowers and brings home wreaths, daisies in string or bouquets of flowers.
Wreath
Daisies in string
Bouquets of flowers
All these are kept at the entrance of the house until July 24th, when we celebrate St. John and we put fires to burn them along with many other traditions.
