May Queen
In the British Isles and parts of the Commonwealth, the May Queen is a girl who represents the coming of spring and summer. She wears a white gown to symbolize purity and rides or walks at the front of a parade for May Day celebrations. The May Queen is crowned with flowers and makes a speech before the dancing begins. Certain age-groups dance around a Maypole, celebrating youth and springtime.
