  1. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    In my district some days are looked upon as being lucky or unlucky. Concerning matrimony each day is looked up as follows Monday for health, Tuesday for wealth, Wednesday the best day of all, Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses and Saturday no day at all.
    Friday is counted unlucky to change from one house to another. The thirteenth day of the month is supposed to be an unlucky day. The thirteenth child is also supposed to be unlucky.
