  1. Whit Sunday

    Share Share Post
    Whit Sunday is supposed to be a kind of a wicked day. Any person or animal that is born on that day is supposed to be sore. People do not like to go near waters on that day. They say that the water runs mad three times on that day and that there are certain diseases on the water on that day.
