- People dont like meeting red-haired women on May day. In some places you would not get a drink of milk or a "Light for your pipe" on May Day.In parts of Roscommon people take steps to prevent bad luck with cattle & stock on that day. Before sunrise the farmer walks round all his farm & shakes salt & Holy water in each of the corners of the farm. This is supposed to prevent bad luck caused by the death of farm stock.
