P. Vas János’ column: Old writings still interesting today. Superstition and beliefs from all over the Hungarian language area – related to the Christmas season and New Years. One example: if a girl wants to marry and her family raises pigs, she should go barefooted out to the pigpen during the Christmas midnight mass and kick the planks of the pigpen. If the pig oinks once, then the girl will marry within the year; but if the pig oinks twice it will be two years before the girl marries, and so on. From a book by Fazekas and Székely published by Magvető Kiadó, Budapest. 1990. (based on Szendrey and Szendrey’s Dictionary of [Hungarian] Superstitions)
