  2. Lore of Certain Days

    If you earn money on Sunday it will do you no good or anybody else. It is on Friday that the farmer begins to plant his potatoes and sow his seeds as they consider that it is the luckiest day in the week.
    A lot of people start their work on Monday because Our Lord made the world in six days and he rested on the seventh, and that is why we have Sunday and we should do no work on that day. It is lucky to go anywhere on the 12th of the month because Our Lord had 12 Apostles with him.
    Written by Jane Beylan 4th Feb, 1938
