- When Candlemas-day dawns bright and clear, you will have two Winters in that year.
When you start work on Saturday, it will never be finished.
Potatoes shoud be planted before the fair of Kilmainham.
Friday is a lucky day on which to start farmwork.
When you sew something on Sunday, you will have to rip it on Monday.For marriages.
Monday for health,
Tuesday for wealth,
Wednesday the best day of all,
Thrusday for losses,
Friday for crosses,
and Saturday no day at all.January is a dead month. By this we mean that there is no growth, and grass or wheat do not grow.If it rains on St. Swithen's day, it will rain for forty days and forty nights.
The thirteenth of every month is an unlucky day.
