  1. Churning

    Share Share Post
    If a person comes into the house when the woman of the house is churning it is lucky for her to churn a bit and also to say, "God bless the work,"
    It is necessary to have the dairy and the milk crocks very clean.
    When the woman puts the milk into the churn she says "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost."
