May Day, celebrated on May 1st, has both secular and historical significance, primarily associated with the celebration of spring and labor rights. While it has roots in ancient pagan festivals like Beltane, which honored fertility and the coming of summer, it is not primarily a religious festival today. Instead, it is widely recognized as International Workers' Day in many countries, focusing on labor rights and social justice. Thus, its contemporary celebration is largely secular.
