“It is an old custom when a woman would be setting eggs to make the sign of the cross on the eggs with a burned stick...”
It is an old custom when a woman would be setting eggs to make the sign of the cross on the eggs with a burned stick and she would nut something on her head called a top knots so that there would be chickens in the eggs.
It is an old saying that if you fell in the grave-yard you would die a week after.
If a knife fell it would be the sign of a stranger.
If the lace of your shoe was opened then would be someone thinking of you.- Collector
