Mercuralia, known also as the "Festival of Mercury," was an ancient Roman celebration descended from an even older Grecian celebration of Hermes. It traditionally took place on the 15th of May. Prayers for prosperity and rites of purification were offered on this day. (cite from http://www.mercuralia.net/greetings.html)
