  1. Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    My mother told me this old saying when babies are born.
    "Born on Monday fair a face,
    Born on Tuesday full of grace,
    Born on Wednesday merry and glad,
    Born on Thursday far to go,
    Born on Friday loving and giving,
    Born on Saturday work for a living,
    Born on Sunday never shall want."
    Friday is looked upon as a lucky day.
    Saturday is looked upon as an unlucky day.
