Oh no. Not again with the infantile counting Dave. You’re trying to emulate
Tim Bruening, AND celebrating a pagan festival. Tut tut! Worshipping Eostre
like that.

Hmm! When I read the "May the 1st Doctor be with you!" post, I,
naturally, took that as a 'Tim' post ... so had to re-read things when I
read your post, Mike!! ;-P

No Beltane is the spring equivalent of Samhain in autumn.

Samhain was hijacked by the Christian church as All Hallow's Day in
the 8th to 9th century CE.

There just isn't a major Christian festival in the anglosphere* for
the first of May - so it doesn't count as equivalent to All Hallow's.

The first day of May is only International Workers' Day or Beltane.

* In some countries you might have Walpurgis Night
