Lore of Certain Days.
If you marry on Monday it is for health. Tuesday for wealth and Wednesday the best day of all. Thursday for losses and Friday for crosses and Saturday no day at all.
If you marry in Lent you will live to repent. If you start a piece of work on Saturday you will never finish it. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
