  1. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    "Tuesdays and Saturdays" according to local belief are "cross" days and no business or undertaking of importance should be commenced on either of these days.
    The first Monday of the New Year is called Hansel Monday. You should not pay out any money on that day or you will be doing so all year. If possible try and get in money on that day and you will get it all year
    Good Friday: (1) Crops planted on this day are supposed to be good.
    (2) It is unlucky to cut nails or hair on this day
    (3) Eggs laid on this day are supposed to keep away sickness - during the year - from anyone who eats them.
