  2. Lucky and Unlucky Days

    Share Share Post
    When people are getting married they usually get married on a Wednesday because they say that any other day is unlucky. When a family is going into a new house they go on a Friday because it is a lucky to go live in a house. It is unlucky to dig a grave on a Monday and if they had to dig it on Monday they would dig a sod of clay put of the grave on Sunday.
