- On May Eve the last day of April people go around the fields shaking holy water on the gaps and on the cows and on all the animals and on the hens and ducks. It is said that any person shouldnt sit on the grass May Day. If a woman comes looking for eggs on May Day that shows that she is going to do harm on you. If a person washes his hands on the dew on May Day it is said that can rip many knots for that year. When a person pulls grass he would get alot of falls and that the faires would carry you away
