    Friday most people cut their hair because they don't cut it during the lent and they keep the eggs that are layed on Good Friday for Easter Sunday.
    On Easter Sunday the people eat a lot of eggs. On May eve the children gather a lot of primroses and daisies and tie them to a pole and then they stick it in the ground for May day. The people don't like to lend anything on May Day and they don't throw out any water in case they might be throwing away the luck. On Saint Martin's Day there are mill wheels twisted.
