The significance of May Day for me is more or less as per the Wikipedia definition:
May Day on May 1 is an ancient Northern Hemisphere spring festival and usually a public holiday; it is also a traditional spring holiday in many cultures.

What does this day mean to you?
And what do you call it in your language?

Hi El, Happy Labour Day!!!
In Sri Lanka it is called as "May Day" It is our day and no one can give orders us to work today.
So entertaining it as a public holiday while political leaders are in Colombo having rallies.
