- It is supposed to be unlucky to change from one house to another on Friday or Saturday. An old saying is
“A Saturday’s flit
is a short sit.” It is said that any child or animal that is born on Whitsunday will either be killed or it will kill somebody. It is also said that if you sleep outside on Wednesday, you will be dead before the next Whitsunday. Cross day is on the fourteenth of September. Friday is supposed to be the most unlucky day of the week.- Collector
