3. well, my calender says

this past sunday was eastern orthodox easter

and may 1 is labor day in mexico

along with holocaust remembrance day.

4. Cinco de Mayo would presumably wait until the 5th. I think that it celebrates May Day.

They are inflatable flowers by Jeff Koons. It's a Spring thing, I guess.
