    If you are sitting down, and anybody steps over your feet, it is said you will never grow taller, or develop.
    It is said it is lucky to make changes on a Friday, such as changing from one house to another, going on a journey, or any other important work.
    People like to sow a little bit of crop, especially potatoes on Good Friday - the crop is supposed to be very good for that year
    They also like to harrow on a Friday
    It is lucky to cut your hair on Good Friday - it grows better.
