  1. Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    Many people believe that certain days are lucky and unlucky. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are unlucky days. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday are lucky. It is unlucky to remove from one house to another on Friday. It is unlucky to give away money on Monday, for it is said you would be giving it away for the rest of the week. On May day it is counted unlucky to give away milk. It is said if a person washed his hair on Good Friday he would not get a pain in his head for the rest of the year.
