the forests and the fields when spring came. On the first Sunday of May they usually took a tree back with them
and put it in the center of the village. The children dance round it and the men and the women took part in games
around it.
Later the international working class made the First of May their day of solidarity.
The first May Day was celebrated in England in 1890, when the workers decided to fight for an eight-hour
working day and an end to the very long hours that they worked. In London, the workers marched from all places
to a meeting in Hyde Park. This demonstration showed their unity and solidarity.
After that, May Day in England was usually celebrated on the Sunday nearest to the first day of the
