May Day just another Holiday.

May-Day Salute to Laborers all around the world.

"Hum mehnat kash jag waalon se jab apna hissa maangein ge

ik khet nahin ik dais nahin hum saari duniya maangein ge!"

History:

The earliest May Day celebrations appeared in pre-Christian times, with the festival of Flora, the Roman Goddess of flowers, and the Walpurgis Night celebrations of the Germanic countries. It is also associated with the Gaelic Beltane. Many pagan celebrations were abandoned or Christianized during the process of conversion in Europe. A more secular version of May Day continues to be observed in Europe and America. In this form, May Day may be best known for its tradition of dancing the Maypole and crowning of the Queen of May. Various Neopagan groups celebrate reconstructed (to varying degrees) versions of these customs on May the 1st. The day was a traditional summer holiday in many pre-Christian European pagan cultures. While February 1 was the first day of Spring, May 1 was the first day of summer; hence, the summer solstice on June 25 (now June 21) was Midsummer. In the Roman Catholic tradition, May is observed as Mary's month, and in these circles May Day is usually a celebration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this connection, in works of art, school skits, and so forth, Mary's head will often be adorned with flowers in a May crowning. Fading in popularity since the late 20th century is the giving of "May baskets," small baskets of sweets and/or flowers, usually left anonymously on neighbours' doorsteps.

May Day Pakistan:

1st May is observed as Labour day all around the world. But sadly in Pakistan its just another holiday observed by rich and middle-class, without searching the solution for the betterment of the labourers. As labour in Pakistan is living in poverty and are sometimes forced to do inhumane things such as selling their daughters and body organs. People should try to emphasis on the conditions and sufferings of the poor and labour. They should be given some sort of incentive and free education for their childeren. Some rallies were held in Lahore and concerts were organized, did it helped the poor labourers to fill their bellies certainly NOT.

Labour day n Allam Iqbal::: 

"Tu Qadir-o-Adil hai magar Tairay Jahan mae,

hein taalkh bohat banda-e-mazdoor kay auqat."
