La Cruz de Mayo (The May Cross) Festival 2006

A Brief History of the May Cross Festivity
It is believed that the celebration of the May Cross, which appears officially on the 3rd May on the Catholic Calendar, is primordially of pagan origin. The peoples of old Europe would adorn a young girl with flowers in commemoration of the goddess Maya or Maia (May) the goddess responsible for the splendour of nature. She was also called Flora in some cultures. This goddess represented eternity as spring is the time of renewal and it occurs every year brand new again without fail.
