I am unable to figure out what does "May Day" stand for and how did the word originate. Can some one answer this question?

The Mayday callsign was originated in 1923 by Frederick Stanley Mockford (1897-1962) [2]. Whilst senior radio officer at Croydon Airport in London, Mockford was asked to think of a word that would indicate distress and would easily be understood by all pilots and ground staff in an emergency. Since much of the traffic at the time was between Croydon and Le Bourget Airport in Paris, he proposed the word "Mayday" from the French m'aider.

To the best of my understanding, Jesus drank wine. I am active in the LDS church, and it is a common argument held among LDS members that Jesus did not actually drink wine, but some form of juice. Well, I have never read anything in the Bible or modern day revelation proclaiming it to be juice, so I will go by what the Bible says: wine. Now, this is not a bad thing. I think most LDS members do not proclaim this because they think if they do admit this, then they are defeated. This is where the confusion is. In Jesus' time, wine in moderate amounts was not prohibited. Excessive drinking was admonished against, but drinking of wine was not. This is the same type of situation with polygamy, Nephi killing Laban, or any other occurrence which was allowed at a time but not anymore. Does the fact that polygamy is not allowed presently make the people who followed polygamy before (when it was allowed) sinners? No. Does the fact that Nephi was commanded to kill Laban make him a sinner? No. This question posed and the many responses by LDS members defending their "juice" theories need to be thought through again. The "Word of Wisdom" was not followed in Jesus' time. It is in our time. Someone who drank wine in Jesus' time was not a sinner. Someone who drinks wine in our time has not followed completely the laws set forth by God. We believe all that God has revealed, all that he He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal many great and important things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.

Hi. Your first two answers are probably correct. I always thought it was phonetic for 'M D' or Major Disaster.

It comes from the French, "venez m'aider" -- "come to help me".

"Mayday" is just phonetic English spelling of the French "M'aidez" which means "Help me!"
