May quotes:
I suppose that every one of us hopes secretly for immortality, to leave, I mean, a name behind him which will live forever in this world, whatever he may be doing, himself, in the next.

May is the fifth month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian calendars and the third of seven months to have a length of 31 days.
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 trip season in the United States (Memorial Day) and Canada (Victoria Day) that ends upon Labor Day, the first Monday of September.
May (in Latin, Maius) was named for the Greek Goddess Maia, who was identified with the Roman become old 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 behind 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 in the future days of May, hence the name. Eventually, “mayovka” (specifically, “proletarian mayovka”) came to want an illegal celebration of May 1 by radical public, typically presented as an saintly picnic.
Special devotions to the Virgin Mary take place in May. See May devotions to the Blessed Virgin Mary.
