And in centuries-old fashion, it's also the time that many people in Wexford will gather their painted eggs shells, ribbons and bunches of flowers and decorate their May Bush.?The May Bush tradition is not just a Wexford tradition and is found in other counties in Leinster, East Munster and Ulster, with variants in Connaught;?Wexford, however, is regarded as the stronghold of the tradition.For those who don’t know, the May Bush is a piece of a whitethorn (known locally as a ‘skeagh’) or gorse/furze bush which is erected on the first of May or May Eve?and decorated with painted eggshells, ribbons?and seasonal flowers. In the past in Co. Wexford, small candles were also placed on the May Bush and in some cases these May Bushes were burnt that very night. Throughout north-east Wexford, bonfires were lit on this evening and this tradition is still alive in some areas to this day. These fires are a continuation of the ancient Bealtaine fire tradition that stretches back in time and gives the month of May its Irish name, Bealtaine, meaning bright light or bright fire. Do you know the name of the month of May in Irish? ?Traditionally, these May Bushes were erected in a prominent place in a bid to keep the ‘pisheogs’ away (i.e. the fairies),?and like so many of our customs the May Bush was centred on the protection of the growing crops and the milk yield. Eggshells were kept up after Easter Sunday, mostly by girls, and then painted and hung on these bushes. A contemporary version of this now is the use of plastic Kinder Egg shells and leftover foil from Easter eggs.The creation of the May bush was often accompanied by a procession and sports and festivities. In some parts of Ulster, a King was chosen, along with the Queen. Sometimes, there was a bush carried in the procession, on which there were hurling balls hanging. May Day traditionally marked the start of summer hurling and in Kilkenny, women gifted men with new hurling balls on this day.Dancing was a feature of May bonfire celebrations. It also featured around the May Pole or where communal May Bushes were burnt. This was a time for celebrating the continuity of the community. The customary dance involved the men and women joining hands to form a large circle with a dancer weaving in and out of the circle under their arms and collecting other dancers to follow after them. This has been described as representing a winding serpent and as representing the movements of the sun. It is similar to the children’s game?In and out go the dusty bluebells –?these blue flowers were also traditionally picked in May.This is a video/interview from New Ross library of two ladies who have memories of the May bush and its traditions you are a child long ago when there were no cars on the streets, no internet, no TV and no phones. You have just been involved in Mayday celebrations and procession. Give an account of your day and what events took place.Tuesday 12th May:Maths:Please ensure all work has a heading, date and each question is given the correct number/letter in your copy.Page 133 – Profit or loss percentagesExample A: Nathan paid €150 for a bike.

Much of the traditions associated with May have been incorporated into the Marian processions found throughout the country.Children and adults collected flowers for crowning Our Lady in town processions. They also used them to decorate grottoes, shrines and church altars. It was and still is very common to have a home altar either in the kitchen or outside in the farmyard. Sometimes the flowers picked for this altar were made into crosses. The maintenance of these altars and their replenishment with fresh flowers continued on from the 1 May, throughout the month.This week, see if you can create a May altar somewhere in your home.276225010160 Bring flowers of the rarestbring blossoms the fairest, from garden and woodland and hillside and dale;our full hearts are swelling,our glad voices tellingthe praise of the loveliest flower of the vale!O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today!Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May.O Mary we crown thee with blossoms today,Queen of the Angels and Queen of the May…Wednesday 13th May:Maths:Please ensure all work has a heading, date and each question is given the correct number/letter in your copy.Page 134 – cost price and selling priceExample A:Dylan’s furniture store sold a bed to Ben for €600, the shop made a profit of 20%.
