    Our old forefathers had some lucky and unlucky days. They say that no farmer should begin a new job on a Saturday because it is the same as begining at the end of it. When we start on a Monday we can do it far quicker. They also say that no one should marry in May they say "Marrig in May and repent the day".
    Whit Sunday is a very unlucky day. If you sleep on this day you will have to sleep every day for a year. If you hurt your foot on this day it will be sore every day for a year
