  1. Pishogues Connected with Marriage

    Share Share Post
    The bride should wear - Something old and something new. Something borrowed and something blue.
    It is considered unlucky for two of the same family to marry in the same year.
    It is considered unlucky for a priest to have anything to do with the making of a match
    Monday for health
    Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for losses
    Friday of crosses
    Saturday no luck at all
    Nine-tenths of the marriages in this district take place on Wednesday which shows that people believe in this old pishogue.
    Happy is the bride the sun shines on
    Happy is the corpse the rain falls on
