Good Friday
(1) Black hens eggs that are layed on this day are marked and kept for Easter Sunday.
(2) On that day also, any request asked from God at three o'clock is granted because it was on that moment on the first Good Friday Our Lord died on the cross.
Easter Sunday
(1) The eggs that are laid on Good Friday are eaten on this day so that our Lord may keep us from all sickness during the year.
(2) If you get up early on that morning you will see the sun dancing with joy because Christ has risen from the (ded) dead.
