    Birth :
    Some of the old people advised
    "goody" i.e. bread and milk to be given to the baby before bringing it to the church for Christening.
    "A child that does not cry at Baptism won't live.

    Funeral :
    If you meet a funeral on the road you should turn with it + accompany it some distance.

    It is lucky to meet a sow especially if she does not turn away from you when you are passing by.
