The May sun is like a radiant young man in search of love, ardent and full of life. May was considered the fairest of months, filled with colourful celebrations, dances and gatherings adorned with flowers and branches, all favourable to encounters between lovers. With the return of warm weather, the herds prepare to climb towards their summer pastures. This is the season of roses, whose thorns remind us that abundance is never entirely free of danger. Not without reason were the boundaries of the land blessed during the first days of the month, reaffirming the dominion of the living over the earth.
