“ May Day ​ — or Beltane — ​ was the calendar’s most permissive day, the one festival the Christian church and other authorities could never quite control, ” observes England’s Guardian newspaper.
« 1 Maji ​ — ose Beltana ​ — ishte dita më toleruese e kalendarit, e vetmja festë që Kisha e Krishterë dhe autoritetet e tjera nuk mund ta mbanin nën kontroll », ​ — vëren gazeta angleze Guardian.
