  1. Marriage Customs

    Share Share Post
    It was supposed that when the bride and bridegroom are on the road to the Church to be married, If they forgot something and turn back they are said to be unlucky.
    Again, those who get married Shrove Tuesday should make it their business to be at home before Lent starts.
    Some of the people in the neighbourhood make a list of those who were supposed to get married and those who are of age this is called "Skellig List".
