This holiday is celebrated in the night between 23rd and 24th June – during the eve of St. John the Baptist. It’s also an attempt to assimilate pagan rituals by Catholicism which are associated with the summer solstice. But this event isn’t celebrated in the same day everywhere in the world. For example, in Ukraine, Belarus and Russia people celebrate it on 7th July, event known as Ivan Kupala Day.

Poles call the first three days of May as Majówka, when they celebrate Labour’s Day (1st May), Flag Day (2nd May) and Constitution Day (3rd May). These days represent national days in Poland, on the 1st and 3rd May people don’t go to work. If it happens that these three days to be connected with the weekends, some people will take off from work for the 2nd of May, creating in this way a mini-holiday of 5 days.

We all remember about childhood, when we were playing with the other children or when we shared all with our friends.

For all of us, childhood is a magic period, in which we seemed to have more energy, the fruits were tastier and the grandma’s cakes were exceptionally. I remember when my grandma used to tell me stories at fireside, when it was so cold outside. All of these memories seem to be the pages of a book of fairy tales.

Thanks to their contribution in sustaining and developing the society, the whole world devotes a specific day to celebrate the mothers. I believe that parents should be celebrated every day by respecting them.

Almost in all world, people celebrate this specific day dedicated to the one who gave us birth, but in the day isn’t the same everywhere. But I think it isn’t so important that there isn’t an international day for it. More important is the fact that this event takes place in the whole world.

3rd May is the last of the three days dedicated for the event called, here in Poland as "Majówka" .

On this day Poles celebrate the adoption of the first Polish constitution, which is the first in Europe and second in the world after the constitution of Unites States. I think they are reasons to be proud and happy to celebrate it.

For those who are patriotic, the colours of national flag are so important like the national anthem, emblem or history. The flag is a way to identify through which anyone can feel not only a simple citizen of that country, but even more, an active part of what his country means in the world.

For me and for other Romanians, the colours of national flag are sacred and I keep them deep in my soul, in the memory of my ancestors.

Here's a day when all workers take part in this celebration, forgetting sometimes the true meaning of this day in the world.

But after all why we need a day of workers? What is the history of this celebration and why on International Workers' Day in many countries around the world nobody works?
