  1. The Lore of Certain Days

    Share Share Post
    It is unlucky to start ploughing on a Saturday because they say it would never be finished.
    It is also unlucky to send a child to school on a Monday for the first time.
    People would never like to start building a house on Friday or Monday. The potatoes should be set before St. Patrick's Day or they would never grow at all.
    Long ago it was a custom to set wheat and oats on a Wednesday in February.
