  1. Marriages at the Present Time

    Share Share Post
    People in the village of Cluide say that there are lucky days and unlucky days for getting married. They say Monday is for health, Tuesday is for wealth and Wednesday is the best day of all. Thursday is for crosses, Friday is for losses and Saturday is no day at all.
    They call the Tuesday before the first day of Lent, Shrove Tuesday, and there are pancakes made in every house that day for the people who did not get married.
