    May Eve is the last day of April .They say people work piseoga on that day and it is said they could bring the person's crops and they shake Holy Water on their crops and beasts and some stick quick beam on their crops.
    If a person got hurt On May Eve it is very hard to get out of it.
    If a person was out in a boat and a storm to rise they would be drowned.
