    here but it is dying out; now people used to give one another presents; these presents were called "Patrick's pots".
    Easter Sunday morning at six o clock the sun is supposed to dance. Most of the children celebrate this day by having a feast; this feast is called a Pruchog
    Two weeks before Easter Sunday the children begin to gather eggs for Easter Sunday.
    Every child eats about six eggs: they have that custom around this district yet.
