That date of May 1st is symbolic for something. What is it? I think it is tied into this mass march.?

In the Western churches, the date of Easter is set (more or less) as the first Sunday after the first full moon that occurs next after the vernal equinox.  The vernal equinox, of course, is the event that begins spring, on or around March 21 each year.\n\nI say "more or less" because there are some other minor considerations for which church officials over the centuries have actually spent a great deal of time and effort in drawing up rules, tables, pronouncements, etc.  For most years, however, the above statement is the rule.

supergiantbaileycat did a very good reply.\n\nI just want to add, Cinco de Mayo IS NOT the day mexicans celebrate independence. Independence day in México is September 16th.\n\nCinco de Mayo can't be a celebration of independence since México lost that war. The battle was won that day, but the war was lost. Cinco de Mayo represents to México what El Alamo represents to US. A celebration of brave (even if they lost).\n\nAnd yes, it seems that the date is bigger in US than in México. People work and there ain't much of a celebration in México that day, except maybe in Puebla state.\n\n--------------------------\nkevintillot: I don't see the reason to paste exactly what other poster had cut and pasted. And adding the "source" wouldn't be a bad idea.

March is the third month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days.\n\nMarch begins (astrologically, non-sidereal) with the sun in the sign of Pisces and ends in the sign of Aries. Astronomically speaking, the sun begins in the constellation of Aquarius and ends in the constellation of Pisces.\n\nIn ancient Rome, March was called Martius, so named after the Roman god of war and was considered a lucky time to begin a war.\n\nMarch was originally the first month of the Roman calendar because the winter months of January and February were unsuited for warfare, the essence of any Italic state. Julius Caesar's calendar reform in 45 BCE began the year on January 1. The tradition of starting the year in March continued in some countries for a long time. January 1 was only instituted as New Year's Day in France in 1564. Great Britain and her colonies continued to use March 25 until 1752, the same year they finally adopted the Gregorian calendar.\n\nIn ancient Hellenic civilization, March was called Anthesterion. In old Japanese calendar, the month is called Yayoi (弥生). In Finnish, the month is called maaliskuu, of obscure origin. Historical names for March include the Saxon term Lenctmonat, named for the equinox and eventual lengthening of days and the eventual namesake of Lent. The Saxons also called March Rhed-monat (for their goddess Rhedam); ancient Britons called it hyld-monath (meaning loud or stormy).

Assuming you are referring to May 1st by "May Day protest": Its origin is from 1889  when the international labour congress assembled in Paris, France, to establish the Second International, an international labour organisation(100 years since the French revolution). It was agreed to make May 1st as an international day for demonstrations to achieve better rights for workers. In this, the Second International succeeded, and it is noteworthy that the labour unions from the US proposed this in the first place!

Cinco de Mayo, Spanish for "May 5," commemorates the Mexican victory over the French at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.\n\nLed by General Ignacia Zaragoza Sequin, a poorly-armed Mexican army of 4,500 stopped and defeated 6,500 well-armed French soldiers.\n\nThe battle halted the invasion of the country and is the cause for the date's celebration each year.\n\n"It was especially important because it was the first Mexican victory against the French, who hadn't lost a battle in 50 years," said Andrea Gaeth, a sophomore in Spanish and president of Ohio State's Spanish club. "The Americans came to their aid after this battle to remove the French for good and thus began an alliance between the United States and Mexico."\n\nThis holiday is not, as many Americans think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually celebrated Sept. 16.\n\n"It's one of two independence days," said Derek Petrey, a senior lecturer in Spanish. "There's a traditional day celebrated in September and this day, which celebrates a famous victory over the French army."\n\nCinco de Mayo is celebrated more in the United States than in Mexico since Mexicans hold Sept. 16 as their true independence day.\n\n"It's more of an informal holiday," Petrey said. "It's not as important in Mexico. It's actually bigger with the Latino population here."\n\nMagdalena Mejia, a Spanish teaching assistant from Puebla, Mexico, said Cinco de Mayo is more of a Chicano holiday.\n\nChicanos are people who were born in the United States but whose parents are from Mexico.\n\n"They have a very strong culture in this country," Mejia said, "and they wanted to have their own holiday. Cinco de Mayo is their party

it's "Mission Accomplished" day. Today in 2003, George Bush declares "major combat operations in Iraq have ended"\n\nit's "National Love Day" in the Czech Republic\n\nit "Lei Day" in Hawaii\n\nbut most importantly:\nit's "Loyalty Day" in the US - Loyalty Day is observed on May 1 in the United States. It is a day set aside for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom.

It's "aren't people" -- FYI\nPeople are mostly kidding.  The date today is 6/6/06 - NOT 666 as in six hundred sixty-six.  No one said the world is going to end on 666 anyway.  It's a mark - not a date
