  1. Religious - All Hallow Eve

    Share Share Post
    All Hallow Eve is celebrated on the 31st. October. The old custom is to put a tub of water in the middle of the house + put apples into it + try who would catch one in their mouth. Another custom is to hang an apple on to a piece of twine and tine it to the loft and try to catch it with the mouth and the hands tied behind the back.
