A new block to carve! As a May Day baby I have always been interested in all the various folk traditions of May Day (and the evening before) like Beltane, Walpurgisnacht and May Day celebrations.

The Jack-in-the-green has been a part of #MayDay processions since the 1770. Like a man dressed as a tree, the Jack-in-the-green wears a wooden or wicker frame covered in foliage and often play the role of a mischievous leader of a procession on the first of May.
