    DAISY CHAINS:
    In the summer the time girls of this district pick daisies and make daisy chains with them. They split one stem of another into it. By this way they connect all the daisies. They also thread then together. They put them on themselves, else crown one of the girls and call her Queen. They also bring them home and put them around the statue of the Blessed Virgin.
