  1. St Martin's Day

    Share Share Post
    The people always kill something a goose or some other animal in honour of St. Martin. When it is killed, they sprinkle part of the blood in each of the four corners of the house so that St. Martins blessing will be in the house for the year. Whatever you kill you can kill it any time between November night and St Martins night.
    Its not right to spin on St. Martins day
