Sunday. It is celebrated for a protection against drought. The
women do not wash clothes or if they wash they do not dry the clothes.
The men do not dig nor sough in order food not to get dry. Those
restrictions are kept for the people and the cattle to be healthy.
They do not eat eggs to prevent themselves from getting boils. To
prevent themselves from pimples and wounds everybody washes their
faces and hands on Sofinden with water that has a red egg in it.
Milk should not be boiled, because otherwise the cattle will not
have any milk and will have lots of wounds. The cattle should not
be harnessed; no one should go to the fields because the cattle
may become lame.
