  1. May Day Customs VII

    Share Share Post
    When the cow was milked a cross was made on her back and side so that the cow would have plenty of milk for the year. On May Day long ago the dead used come back and visit their friends. A man in this parish died and on May Day he visited his brother in England as he had promised to do so before he died.
