  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    When people are about to set potatoes they say "We will set them in the name of God" and when they were planted they would say "Thanks be to God". If an accident happened or if they met with a loss, they would say "Welcome be the will of God". When people go where others are working they say "God bless the work" and the answering salutation is "God save you kindly". When people are leaving home their friends say "God be with you".
