    The Lore of Certain Days.
    Monday: People never marry on Monday as it is considered unlucky.
    Friday: Is considered a lucky day to enter a new home, but at the same time, the flour, soda and other food stuffs should be placed in the house the night before the people themselves enter the house.
    Saturday. It is considered unlucky to begin business on Saturday. An old saying and a true saying. Work begun on Saturday is never finished.

    Told to me by my father.
