In the Czech Republic, the first of May is traditionally celebrate as the holiday of lovers and the whole of May as the month of love.
Traditionally associated with this concept is the night before the first of May, including the construction and guarding of May Day, the pouring of paths of slaked lime mixed with water
between the lovers' houses, and the painting of hearts and inscriptions on their doors with lime.
Couples in love also kiss under a blossoming tree on May Day. This is not an old custom, it could have originated around the beginning of the 20th century and probably in an urban
environment, perhaps in connection with Karel Hynk Mácha and Petřín. Cherry, sakura, apple or birch are most often considered suitable trees.
