  1. Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    People say if you were born on 15th June it is very lucky. It is unlucky to be born on 25th August.
    People born on 13th July are said to have great luck but people born on 23rd July haven't any luck.
    It is very lucky to be born on 25th October, but people born on that day are very fond of spending a lot of money. They borrow some money also, and you would have to wait a long time before they would pay it back.
    People say if you go from house to house on Tuesday it is very unlucky, but if you go from house to house on Friday it is very lucky.
    It is very lucky to be in your own house on Christmas day.
