In keeping with our process of leading off with a look at the calendar we thought you might be interested to learn some little known information about the month of May.
- MAY IS NAMED AFTER MAIA, THE GREEK GODDESS OF FERTILITY.
- ON MAY 22 WE NOTE THAT ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS AWARDED A PATENT FOR A BOAT LIFTING DEVISE AND BECAME THE FIRST AND ONLY PRESIDENT TO HOLD A PATENT.
- IN ANY GIVEN YEAR, NO MONTH EVER BEGINS OR ENDS ON THE SAME DAY OF THE WEEK AS MAY DOES.
- THE BIRTHSTONE OF MAY IS THE EMERALD WHICH IS EMBLEMATIC OF LOVE AND SUCCESS.
- MAY WAS ONCE CONSIDERED A BAD LUCK MONTH TO GET MARRIED IN SO THE SAYING GOES “MARRY IN MAY AND YOU’LL RUE THE DAY”.
- SPECIAL DAYS IN MAY: THE 9TH–LOST SOCK MEMORIAL DAY: THE 16TH–LOVE A TREE DAY: THE 21ST–TAKE YOUR PARENTS TO THE PLAYGROUND DAY; THE 26TH–PAPER AIRPLANE DAY: THE 28–BURGER DAY: AND THE 29TH–MEMORIAL DAY.
