    The lore of certain Days
    Saturday is an unlucky day to get married on. Sunday is a lucky day to cure rheumatism. Pebble stones from a running stream are applied. Friday is an lucky day to change into a new residence. If the month of April starts with very bad weather March has borrowed three days from April to skin the old cow as the old saying is.
