  1. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    It is said that the unlucky days to begin work are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and that the unlucky days to visit a sick person are also Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Long ago anyone would not cut his hair on Monday or Friday but this has now died out in some places. The unlucky days for marriage are Monday and Friday.
