Somerset May Day Celebration
Priston Jubilee Morris Men dance outside the village pub and hall at the May Day village celebrations in Priston on May 5 2008 in Somerset, England. The origins of May Day fayres - which remain a time of dancing and festivities across England - are said to have started in Roman Britain 2,000 years ago when Roman soldiers celebrated the arrival of spring by dancing around decorated trees thanking their goddess Flora.
