Episode Synopsis
How many holidays in May? More than you think? Whatever happened to May Day? Once it was a major holiday with dancing round the maypole; now, not so much.

Who is Anna Maria Jarvis? And how did Decoration Day morph into Memorial Day. This episode explores the origins and meaning of all three. May Days – more than you think.
