Day 17! Delayed this evening due to cat being firmly entrenched upon my lap.

From The Holiday Spot
According to an old English folk belief, you will invite bad luck into your home if you allow a fire to burnout on Halloween. To remedy the situation, the fire must be rekindled by a lighted sod brought from the home of a priest.

I've heard a variant, by which you shouldn't let a fire burn out, that you had to extinguish the fire and then relight it. Ceremonially, of course. (I'm enjoying these little snippets.)

Thanks! I'm so glad you're enjoying. I am learning a lot of things I never knew with this little project.
