RAIN AT BRIDAL OR BURIAL.
“Blessed is the bride
Whom the sun shines on,
Blessed is the dead
Whom the rain rains on.”
If it rains while a wedding party are on their way to the church, or on returning from it, it betokens a life of bickering and unhappiness.
If the rain falls on a coffin, it is supposed to indicate that the soul of the departed has “arrived safe.”
CROWING HENS, ETC.
A whistling maid and a crowing hen in one house, is a certain sign of a downfall to some one in it. I have known hens killed for crowing by night.
The braying of an ass is a sign of fair weather; so is also the crowing of a cock. The quacking of ducks foretells rain.
