    Share Share Post
    People make pancakes on Shrove Tuesday night. It is called pancake night. Long ago children used to go around on Easter Saturday with a basket looking for eggs. They used to go to every house in the district and the people used to give them eggs.
    The people would not give milk or matches to anyone on May Day. They would not throw out ashes either, because they said it would take all the luck out of the house
