  1. Long ago on November eve they had very queer customs such as two young girls brushing around the stack of corm and their future husband was supposed to come and help them. Another customs was washing their clothes and putting them to the fire to dry and their future husband was supposed to come and turn them at midnight. The priest put down all three customs and that is why they all died away.
