• New Year's Superstitions

  During medieval times, farmers and their families would go out into the pasture and place a flat cake on the head of a cow. They would then dance and sing around the cow until it was agitated enough to throw the cake to the ground. If the cake fell in front of the cow, it meant good luck in the coming year. If it fell behind the cow, the farmer could expect doom and ill-tidings.Woodlands Junior School: Facts about January
