Here are some of the most well-known Moveable Feasts in May, which can fall on different dates every year:
- Mother’s Day: United States, second Sunday of May
- Memorial Day (United States): last Monday of May
- Whit Monday: 8th day after Easter (the Sunday after Pentecost)
Let’s take a closer look at some of these holidays.
Mother’s Day:
Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May in many countries around the world. It’s a day to honor mothers for their love, care, and support. Children often give their mothers gifts, cards, and flowers. Some people also celebrate their mothers-in-law or other important women in their lives on Mother’s Day.
Memorial Day (United States):
Memorial Day is celebrated on the last Monday in May in the United States. It’s a day to honor the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. On Memorial Day, there are parades, ceremonies, and visits to cemeteries. People often fly the American flag and wear red, white, and blue, the national colors of the United States.
Whit Monday:
Whit Monday, also known as Pentecost Monday or Monday of Pentecost, is celebrated on the eighth day after Easter. It’s a day to celebrate the Holy Spirit and the outpouring of God’s love. On Whit Monday, there are church services, picnics, and other celebrations. People often wear white, the color of the Holy Spirit.
These are just a few of the many Moveable Feasts that can fall in May. These holidays are a reminder of the importance of family, love, and remembrance.
