May 8

In Cornwall, England, the annual Furry Dance is performed in the streets of Helston on this day in honor of the old Celtic Horned God in the guise of Robin Hood. The festival, which features street dancing and a daylong procession throughout the town for good fortune, is one of the oldest surviving Springtime ceremonies in the world.

The osophists commemorate the death of Madame Helena Petrovna Blavatsky on this day, which they call White Lotus Day.
