  2. Easter Sunday

    Share Share Post
    There is an old custom regarding Easter Sunday.
    The people + children eat as many eggs as they are able. If any of the young children go into a house the woman gives him an egg + when ["they" struck out and within parentheses; "he" written above] goes home ["they" struck out and within parentheses; "he" written above] eats it.
    This old custom is surely practised by everybody round here.
