  1. St Martin I

    Share Share Post
    On the eve of St. Martin's Day it is customary to kill a fowl and sprinkle the four corners of the kitchen with its blood. They also make a cross on the door with its blood. It is said that machinery of any kind or mills should not be worked on that day as it is believed that St. Martin was ground in a mill.
