May 1, known as May Day, is an official
holiday in 66 countries across the world.
May Day originated as an ancient pagan
celebration of spring, known as “Beltane.".
It took on a different meaning in the
19th century when it became connected
to the labor rights movement.
On May 1, 1886, more than 300,000 workers
in the U.S. went on strike in response to
growing inhumane working conditions.
This culminated in the Haymarket Riot of Chicago, where police and protestors clashed,
resulting in a national wave of controversy.
This event widely impacted labor
movements around the world and is
now often a day of protest for labor unions.
However, some countries still recognize
the original traditions of May Day and
celebrate with festivities and various customs.
A main custom is the maypole dance, which originated as a fertility ritual and involves dancing around a pole with colorful streamers and ribbons
At least 10 people died and over 70 were hospitalized after strong winds capsized tourist boats in Guizhou, China. President Xi Jinping has called for urgent safety reforms as China faces multiple transport tragedies during the May Day holiday.

Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, becomes the first American pontiff with deep Latin American ties. Born in Chicago, the 69-year-old missionary spent decades in Peru, where he became known for championing the poor, climate justice, and pastoral reforms. He vows to build on Pope Francis’ progressive legacy while bringing his own dynamic focus on social justice. With a background in immigrant roots and years of ground-level ministry, Leo XIV’s papacy promises continuity with reform, balanced by cultural sensitivity and strong episcopal leadership rooted in the Augustinian tradition.

Donald Trump called it a “Great Honor” as Robert Prevost became the first American pope, taking the name Leo XIV. The 69-year-old former Chicago bishop's election stunned the world and thrilled the U.S. But past tensions linger — Leo XIV previously criticized U.S. leaders, including Vice President JD Vance. Trump, however, welcomed the election warmly, writing on Truth Social that he looks forward to meeting the new pope. The moment marks a historic first for the Vatican and the United States, but political undertones remain impossible to ignore.
