    1. I heard that it is unlucky to go to a new house on any day of the week exept Friday.
    2. I heard that if you set a crop on a Sunday or on a Holiday because it is sure not to grow.
    3. It is unlucky to get married on any day of the week exept Wednesday which a verse say:
    Monday for Health
    Tuesday for Wealth
    Wednesday the best day of all
    Thursday for loss
    Friday (for bross/broses)
    Saturday no luck at all.
