  1. Easter Sunday

    Share Share Post
    In this district it is customary on Waster Week for the poor to go about the country gathering "cluedogs". A very old custom on Easter Sunday is, many youngsters gather together and go to some hillside or whinny place and light a fire. Some of them bring "cluedogs" and the, and the, others bring the milk tea, sugar, spoons, knives, bread, butter and a saucepan. They boil the "cluedogs" in the saucepan and they make tea also. After the feast is over the boys kick football and in the evening they return home after an enjoyable day. At Easter the people renew the friendships of the past and go visiting their friends.
