    “It is unlucky to let anything fall coming out of the chapel ...”

    Share Share Post
    It is unlucky to let anything fall coming out the chapel after being married. From Michaelmas day to Christmas is called the harvest of the geese. Whit Monday is called the cross day of the year.
    Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger
    Sneeze on Tuesday, kiss a stranger,
    Sneeze on Wednesday, get a letter
    Sneeze on Thursday, something better
    Sneeze on Friday, sneeze for sorrow
    Sneeze on Saturday, see your sweetheart tomorrow
    Monday for health
    Tuesday for wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for losses
    Friday for Crosses
    Saturday no day at all
