    The Lore Of Certain Days.
    Wednesday is a very lucky day to get married & Saturday is unlucky.
    A teaspoon of salt is very lucky to bring into a new house first & a bottle of holy water then sprinkle the salt with with the holy water & sprinkle the salt around the kitchen only. Tuesday is the luckiest day to start building a house & there should be a teaspoon of holy water put in each wall so that it would never fall.
