  2. Emblems and Objects

    Share Share Post
    Often a horse-shoe is shown in a house as a sign of good-luck. An old shoe is often thrown after a wedding-party for good luck. Another custom is the drawing of blood on St. Martin's Eve, and in most country houses, a goose is killed to carry out this practice.
