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 7th through history
The Lusitania, and a surrender signed at Reims
On May 7th 1915 the Cunard liner Lusitania was torpedoed by a German submarine off the Old Head of Kinsale, some eleven miles from the Irish coast, and sank in eighteen minutes. Of the nearly two thousand people aboard, 1,198 died. The speed of the sinking, and the deaths of 128 Americans, hardened opinion in the United States against Germany.
Germany’s unconditional surrender was signed in a schoolhouse at Reims in the small hours of May 7th 1945, General Jodl putting his name to it at Eisenhower’s headquarters, to take effect at one minute past eleven the following night. London knew within hours, and crowds began gathering in Whitehall a full day before there was anything official to celebrate.
The first Theatre Royal opened on Brydges Street on May 7th 1663, on the site of the present house in Drury Lane. Three theatres have burned or been pulled down on that ground since; the house there now is the fourth. Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony was first performed in Vienna on May 7th 1824, the composer too deaf to hear the applause and turned round by one of the singers so that he could see it.
A bank clerk in Camberwell kept a library of six thousand books, which is how his son Robert Browning, who became one of the leading poets of the Victorian age, was educated. Browning was born on May 7th 1812; the composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky shares the date, in 1840, and Johannes Brahms, the German composer whose symphonies and choral works remain concert-hall staples, in 1833. The date also belongs to Gary Cooper, the Hollywood leading man known for his understated Westerns.
Born on May 7th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Johannes Brahms and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky — 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.
