  1. Candlemas day dawning bright and clear
    Makes two winters in one year.
    Candlemas day throw candle and candlestick away.

    In our part of the country candles are blessed and distributed in Church.
    In other parts rushes are blessed and brought home and it is believed that sickness will not come to the house where these are kept.
