  2. An Old Custom

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people had many customs. One of those customs was connected with marriage. When the couple were married the first person who left the altar-rails would be the first person to die.
    If the same person was the first to go into the house when they reached home his person would have great trouble afterwards. Many people believe this and they never leave the altar-rails first.
