- St. Stephen's Day falls on the day after Christmas Day. We eat no meat on that day. It is said that if you don't eat it you will be healthy the whole year. The people have a big feast on that night.
On that day the boys of the family and even the girls dress up in old clothes. The night beforehand they search for old clothes and curtains.
Then they go from house to house playing on old musical instruments. They do not say any rhyme. Some of them dance to music.
