May Day Dew
An old Irish May Day tradition
On the morning of 1 May, get outside early and find the morning dew.
Traditionally, people would wash their face in the May Day dew.
In Irish folklore, May Day dew was associated with beauty and good fortune.
So, before the day gets going, step outside and wash your face in the fresh morning dew.
Nothing complicated.
Just a little bit of old Irish folklore to start the month.
