    “Ancient ceremonial customs have practically died out in the district.”

    Ancient ceremonial customs have practically died out in the district. On the Eve of St. Martin's Day a cock is killed, the blood is sprinkled behind the door of the dwelling house and also on the doors of the out-houses. The bird is usually killed behind the door and its blood is trailed around the kitchen. On the feast day the cock is eaten.

    (b) On the last day of Shrove - Shrove Tuesday - pancakes are made and the younger generation has an enjoyable feast that night. Many are on the look out for the hidden ring in one of these cakes, the lucky finder is supposed to be married within twelve months. All are watchful lest they find the concealed medal in another cake; whoever finds it will be either batchelor or maid or a religious.
