under the question  Why do Jehovah's Witnesses not celebrate Valentine's Day?  I read that:
Jehovah's Witnesses only formally celebrate the one event that Jesus commanded his followers. The memorial of his death (1 Cor. 11:23-26).

They also celebrate other events which are referred to favorably in the Scriptures such as marriages, anniversaries, the birth of a baby, graduations and many other happy occasions. But why don't Jehovah's Witnesses celebrate St. Valentine's Day?

I want to ask why in my country is ok for Jehovah's witnesses to celebrate the 1 of May, as a "workers day"?

I think Eoin Joyce's answer is the right one which is NO (is not ok to celebrate it), but still I cannot understand why Bethel in Greece lets brothers even all elders go and celebrate it. I hope someone from the headquarters will see my question and will help on the matter. Thank you Eoin for your answer!
