from the Celtic Customs book.... 12th May, Old May Day, Garland Day, Flitting Day CELTIC. Many people moved to a new job at this time (Flitting Day), possibly acquired from a hiring fair, so it was a holiday in many areas. In east Cornwall the English custom of garland-weaving was done. Wild flowers were arranged on a framework supported by a pole. -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com Professional Genealogy Research All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by Norton 2002
