    In every district people have curious beliefs about certain days. People do not visit a sick person on a Monday or a Friday, as it is thought unlucky. It is also thought unlucky to kill anything on Monday. It is also unusual for people to remove from one house to another during Lent or Advent. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are said to be unlucky days for marriage, and also Lent and Advent.
