Calendar
When it is kept
The days in the year its record gives. A day, not a date: it says nothing about when the observance began.
What this means
The days in the year Wikidata records for Beltane, each in the calendar it names: a month of another calendar is shown as recorded and never converted. Two days are two statements — often two traditions’ days — and are not joined into a span. It does not imply when the festival began, or that every tradition keeping it keeps this day.
