How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
May 14th through history
A gardener's boy, cowpox, and the end of smallpox
On May 14th 1796 Edward Jenner, a country doctor in Gloucestershire, took matter from a cowpox sore on the hand of a dairymaid named Sarah Nelmes and introduced it into the arm of James Phipps, the eight-year-old son of his gardener. Six weeks later he exposed the boy to smallpox, which did nothing at all. The word vaccine comes from vacca, the Latin for cow. Jenner sent his account to the Royal Society, which declined it; he published it himself two years later.
Simon de Montfort defeated Henry III at Lewes on May 14th 1264 and took the King prisoner. For a little over a year England was governed by a council that summoned townsmen and knights as well as barons. De Montfort was killed at Evesham the following August; the precedent outlasted him by centuries.
David Ben-Gurion declared the state of Israel in Tel Aviv on May 14th 1948, hours before the British Mandate for Palestine expired at midnight. Seven years later to the day, eight communist states signed the Warsaw Pact, an answer to West Germany’s entry into NATO five days earlier.
Robert Owen was born on May 14th 1771 at Newtown in Montgomeryshire and ran the New Lanark mills on the principle that workers treated decently would work better, to the lasting embarrassment of his competitors. George Lucas, the film-maker behind Star Wars, was born on May 14th 1944 and Cate Blanchett, the actress, in 1969.
Born on May 14th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
George Lucas and Cate Blanchett — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Taurus — an Earth sign ruled by Venus, symbolised by the Bull.
Birthstone
Emerald for May.
Birth flower
Lily of the Valley (primary), also Hawthorn — most commonly cited sources agree on lily of the valley as the main May flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.

A small, themed starting point rather than a shopping list — emerald for the stone, Taurus for the sign, and the sky itself on the day.
