Germany has a perfect labor system, and the protection mechanism for workers is basically the highest in the world. Therefore, the one-day Labor Day is just a very common holiday for Germans, but May 1 has another function in German traditional customs.
Although as early as the end of 65438+ 10 and the beginning of February every year, Germany announced the arrival of spring in the form of carnival, but for Germany with high latitude, spring may go through cold February, the weather is unpredictable in March and April, and it really comes in May, so Labor Day and its eve have become the day for people to celebrate the arrival of spring.
April 30th every year is not only the eve of the festival, but also Vajpayee or witch night in Germany. Traditionally, people will party, drink and dance all night on this night. In northern Germany, May fireworks will be set off on this night, but most parts of Germany associate it with Christian Easter and call it Easter fireworks.
May 1 is actually Valentine's Day in Germany. On May 1 day, many places will set up "May Trees", all of which are birch trunks made by unmarried young men, and then unmarried young women can write down their love wishes and hang them up, or decorate them on trees in the hope of getting the love of their sweetheart. In rural Germany, young men will weave flowers into heart-shaped garlands and put them on the steps of girls' homes.
In addition, in German tradition, the "Maytree" is not only related to love, but also symbolizes harvest and vitality, so people have the custom of dancing around the "Maytree" on May 1 day to pray for a bumper harvest. At the same time, Germans will dance in the fields on May 1, that is, attach the vitality of human reproduction to the fields and pray for a bumper harvest.
