  1. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    Long ago it was the custom not to remove into a new house on a Monday. Friday is the luckiest day for removals. If a person were dead it is considered unlucky to make the grave on Monday. The old custom was to take the green sod off the top of the grave on Sunday. Friday is considered the luckiest day of the week for doing anything and Saturday the most unlucky.
