- There is an old saying, that people should not pull grass on May Eve, or on May Day, and many farmers would not plough their ground on that day, and boys and girls should not be out late. On that night, if people wash their hands in the dew of the grass, they would be able to rip any knot for that year. Farmers shake holy water on their land, to keep out pishogues.
