The May Pole
May 1 is a big holiday in Austria, and in lots of Europe, actually. Linz had a May Pole. They had a parade the last week of April to carry it into the town square. I wish I had known it was happening, because I would have loved to have seen it.
I don’t know that they actually do anything more with the May Pole. I was told it hangs around for a few months, then they take it down. Not a very exciting end, eh?
