Have You Been Lei'd Today?
May 1st of each year is "May Day" in Hawaii. The first May day was held on May 01, 1928 to commemorate a celebration of the making and giving of the lei (flower necklace). A piece of Hawaii Information and Hawaii History: A poet/writer Don Blanding wrote in a local paper of his suggestion to commemorate the celebration of making and giving lei's. He also is credited with throwing the lei overboard the ship....if it returned ...so would you. Fellow Writer Grace Tower Warren came up with the idea of a May first celebration for this very suggestion. She is also credited with coming up with the slogan "May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii". What a wonderful way to celebrate the Spirit of Aloha! The following show I found on YouTube and I was so surprised to see a lei stand I know well! The two women shown stringing leis are mother and daughter and the stand is located on the corner of Maunakea and Pauahi Streets. Wonderful styles and prices! Art of Lei. Tribute to Hawaiian Lei - Lei Day Honolulu
May Day is Lei Day in Hawaii.
