    new house they always go on a Friday. On May day the people never used to throw out any water or ashes or rubbish. Some people count St. Patrick's Day lucky for doing certain things. The people always set their crops on Good Friday. When people are starting to plough they always start on a Monday. It is said it is a lucky day. When people are starting to build a house they also start on a Monday.
