May typically marks the start of the summer vacation season. This month was named after Bona Dea, the Roman goddess of fertility. As James Thomson says : « Among the changing months, May stands confest. The sweetest and in fairest colors dressed. » The birth flower of May is the Lilly of the Valley, symbolizing a return to happiness. Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of the month to honor one's own mother and motherhood.
