- (continued from previous page)It is the custom that no person of the household puts a foot over the threshold after twelve o'clock at midnight because they are afraid of fairies. This superstition is held very strongly still with the old people. May Day is also called Summer Day. An old proverb says "If you wash your face in the May dew your cheeks will be rosy all the year through", that is if you get up at five o'clock in the morning when the heavy dew is on the grass.
