Superstitions

2. Why do many people eat lentils on the New Year’s Day? |
|
They eat
lentils because of a superstition which says that the more lentils you eat on
the New Year’s Day, the more money you will count during the year! |
|
Therefore,
we think that on New Year’s day we will do well to abstain from eating
lentils in order to keep unbelievers from saying that we follow the above
mentioned superstition. |
|
Eat
lentils whenever you like, but I suggest that you abstain from eating them on
New Year’s day, because unbelievers could be lead to think that you too follow
the above mentioned superstition. |
