- Hollow Eve.
The evening before the first of November is called "Hollow Eve". There is great rejoicing in every house.
On Hollow Eve there are apples, nuts and a cake with a ring in it in every house. The person who gets the ring will be married first. The children put some of the apples into a tub and try to take them out in their mouths. Whoever gets an apple eats it. They also tie a cord on an apple and hang it from a nail in the loft. They try to catch the apple in their mouths.Easter Sunday.
Easter Sunday is in memory of our Lord's resurrection. People hold a feast on that day. In the evening the children have a "Prohog". The "Prohog" consists of chocolate eggs and hen eggs. After awhile they have tea and sweet cake. Then they play games.- Collector
