Welcome to Digital Whisper's
"Hopeful Challenge"


MAY QUEEN - Hope and Anticipation.....




In the UK the first day of the month of May is known as May Day.
It is the time of year when warmer weather begins and flowers
and trees start to blossom. It is said to be a time of love and romance.
It is when people celebrate the coming of summer with lots of different
customs that are expressions of joy and hope after a long winter.

Traditional English May Day celebrations include Morris dancing, crowning
a May Queen and dancing around a Maypole.  Maypole Dancing -
a traditional dance at this time of year.

Although summer does not officially begin until June, May Day marks its beginning.
May Day celebrations have been carried out in England for over 2000 years.

The Romans celebrated the festival of Flora, goddess of fruit and flowers,
which marked the beginning of summer. It was held annually from
April 28th to May 3rd. Copyright [link]
