Traditions of Interest

Today in Relief Society the topic of conversation was Tradition! The sisters were asked to tell some of the traditions that take place in homes of India. The following list was made.
1. When you go to someone's new house you boil milk and let it spill over. It is a sign of good luck.
2. If you are leaving to do some work and someone sneezes.....DON'T GO.
3. Never start work (a new job) or project on Tuesday. (bad luck)
4. They also have a tradition that when you walk in and switch on the light, you look at the picture of God. (Making sure the light is pointed toward God so you see it first.)
5. Don't go give money on Friday. Many places if you owe money and go try to pay, they won't take it on Friday. They will say, come back tomorrow. (bad luck)
6. For a good (we would say special) occassion never go in 3's. Go in 5's or 7's.....but never 3's. (again bad luck)
7. Then they talked about the tradition of an arranged marriage.
The final was making traditions that bring us closer to God.
