    (continued from previous page)
    When a stranger is leaving a house where he has been on a visit, he should take care to go out the same door by which he came in lest he should take the luck from the house. This practice is still carried on by a few people in this parish.

  2. Lucky Days

    Share Share Post
    Good Friday was supposed to be an excellent day for sowing any crop or for planting any tree.
    Anything planted on that day would grow vigorously and would give abundant return.
    __________________________
    Spy Wednesday was also considered a very good day for planting.
