  1. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    In every district certain days are looked upon as been lucky and unlucky. For example Friday is said to be the luckiest day of the week, and Saturday is the unlucky day.
    Friday is a lucky day to begin any new work, such as building a new house, changing from one house to another, reaping or any other work.
    There is an old saying connected with this: Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth, Wedensday is the best day of all. Thursday for loss, Friday for cross, and Saturday no luck at all.
