- (continued from previous page)After a corpse has been coffined, the relatives from both sides, give the bed a push. The idea is to push death away from their own branch of the family. The narrow end of a coffin has to be taken out the door first.A young couple do not go to mass, the first Sunday after being married. It is right to bottor a candle for the first child. If one were presented, it would also be all right.
Clocks are always stopped in a house, when anybody dies. It is not right to come home alone, by night, from a wake. Some people would not lend any part of a churn.It is right to have something borrowed getting married.Something old, something new
