	 How the May Day holiday began in England
	 Many hundred years ago there were many villages and few towns in England. The villagers liked to go into 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 month. There have been many large May Day demonstrations. The working people showed on those days their solidarity with the progressive people in other countries.
56. Which seasons did the villagers like to go into the forests and fields?
