    Long ago the people considered Friday a very lucky day to start sowing the potatoes. Other people thought that Monday was a very unlucky day for clipping horses or shearing sheep, or for hair cutting. The people say that the hair would not grow again. All people are indoors at an early hour, not later than ten on the last night of April as it is said that the fallen angels are out that night. Others would not tend a spark of fire on May day.
