May is the fifth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars and the third month to have the length
of 31 days. May is also the month with the shortest name.[1]

May is a month of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, May
in the Southern Hemisphere is the seasonal equivalent of November in the Northern Hemisphere and vice versa.
Late May typically marks the start of the summer vacation season in the United States and Canada and ends on
Labor Day, first Monday of September.

Background
The month May was named for the Greek goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman era goddess of
fertility, Bona Dea, whose festival was held in May. Conversely, the Roman poet Ovid provides a second
etymology, in which he says that the month of May is named for the maiores, Latin for "elders," and that the
following month (June) is named for the iuniores, or "young people" (Fasti VI.88).

Mayovka, in the context of the late Russian Empire, was a picnic in the countryside or in a park in the early days
of May, hence the name. Eventually, "mayovka" (specifically, "proletarian mayovka") came to mean an illegal
celebration of May 1 by revolutionary public, typically presented as an innocent picnic.[2]

Special devotions to the Virgin Mary take place in May. See May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Eta Aquariids meteor shower appears in May. It is visible from about April 21 to about May 20 each year with
peak activity on or around May 6. The Arietids shower from May 22-July 2, and peaks on June 7. The Virginids
also shower at various dates in May.

Ancient Roman observances

Under the calendar of ancient Rome, the festival of Bona Dea fell on May 1, Argei fell on May 14 or May 15,
Agonalia fell on May 21, and Ambarvalia on May 29. Floralia was held April 27 during the Republican era, or
April 28 on the Julian calendar, and lasted until May 3. Lemuria (festival) fell on 9,11, and 13 May under the
Julian calendar. The College of Aesculapius and Hygia celebrated two festivals of Rosalia (festival), one on May
11 and one on May 22. Rosalia was also celebrated at Pergamon on May 2426. A military Rosalia festival also

occurred on May 31. Ludi Fabarici was celebrated on May 29-June 1. Mercury would receive a sacrifice on the
Ides of May (May 15). Tubilustrium took place on May 23 as well as in March. These dates do not correspond to
the modern Gregorian calendar.

May symbols
May's birthstone is the emerald which is emblematic of love and success.
The May birth flower is the Lily of the Valley and the Crataegus
monogyna.[3] It is native throughout the cool temperate Northern Hemisphere
in Asia, Europe, and in the southern Appalachian Mountains in the United
States, but has been naturalized throughout the temperate climactic world.
The "mayflower" Epigaea repens is a North American harbinger of May, and
the floral emblem of both Nova Scotia and Massachusetts. Its native range
The Lily of the Valley
extends from Newfoundland south to Florida, west to Kentucky in the
southern range, and to Northwest Territories in the north.
The zodiac signs for the month of May are Taurus (until May 20) and Gemini (May 21 onwards).
