Any person who went into a house when a churn was making was supposed to take a turn at this churning.
If a person got a present of a lump of butter or a can of milk he or she used put salt on the plate or into the can before giving them back to the donor.
Holy Water was always put into the churn when churning .
The churn used to be always made on May Eve to prevent people from taking the butter.
Shopkeepers give no credit on handset Monday or New Year's Day as a preventative against fever.
People when sowing potatoes or oats or root crops break a coal of the Paschal Candle into ashes and mix it with the seed.
