  2. Festival Customs - Halloween

    Share Share Post
    On November's Eve many different games are played but the one most common around here is diving for apples.
    A bucket or a basin of water is got and the apple is put into it. Then each person has to try to catch the apple with his mouth. They also buy a brack on this night and it is said if you get the ring you will be married before November Eve comes again.
