  1. Local Marriage Customs (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    They come back at night for the wedding. It is always counted unlucky for a bride to loose her wedding ring. It was on horses that the people went to get married & the bride & bridegroom sat on the same horse on their return home.
    It is an old belief that if a marriage party forgot anything on their way to the church that it was unlucky to turn back.

  2. A Collection of Prayers

    Share Share Post
    There are many beautiful prayers which I have never learned. Those are some of them.
    Hail & Blessed be the hour of moment,
    In which thy Divine Son was born at midnight in Bethlehem,
    In the piercing cold,
    In that hour of moment,
    Oh, most pious Virgin obtain for me the grant of my petition.
