AMERICAN SUPERSTITIONS – PART III

7 – Breaking a mirror
It was long believed that a person’s reflection showed the soul and that to break the reflection was to harm the soul. So a person who breaks a mirror (and damages the reflection it gives) will have seven years of bad luck.

8 – The groom must not see the bride before the wedding
Among the many superstitions concerning the wedding ceremony is the custom that the groom must not see the bride before the wedding. To do so would be a sign of submission to her family.

9 – Taking the last piece of food
There is a superstition that warns us never to take the last piece of food on a plate. To do so means that we won’t marry, or if we are married, we may soon find ourselves unmarried again.

4 - Cutting the wedding cake
The wedding cake has always stood for good fortune and fertility. The bride, with the help of her groom, must cut the first piece as a sign that they will share all the possessions in the future.

5 - Throwing rice
Throwing rice at newlyweds was traditionally a way to wish them many children. In places where rice was the basic food, couples needed many children to grow and harvest it. Nowadays, throwing rice at the bride and groom is a way to wish them a happy marriage.

6 - Step on a crack, break your mother’s back
A crack in the sidewalk represented the opening of a grave, and stepping on a crack, meant inviting death to your family.




E aproveitando pra lembrar que as aulas voltam ao normal essa semana! Uma ótima volta as aulas.

SOME AMERICAN SUPERSTITIONS

Boa noite pessoal!

Vamos começar agora uma série de explicações sobre as supertições americanas. Esperamos que gostem! Segue abaixo as 3 primeiras.

SOME AMERICAN SUPERSTITIONS

1 – Asking God’s blessing for a sneezer

People once believed the soul could escape from the body when a person sneezed. To stop this from happening, people ask God to bless – and so to protect – the person Who sneezes.

2 – Stopping hiccups

It was once believed that a person with hiccups was possessed by the devil. Many remedies are supposed to stop hiccups, such as scaring the person or having the person hold her/his nose while drinking water.

3 – Something old, something new. something borrowed, something blue

When getting married, brides traditionally wear or carry something old, – that can be anything that has brought good luck to its owner – something new – that is a symbol of hope for the future – something borrowed – which adds the good luck of the giver to the bride – and something blue – which is considered a lucky color, so it’s a traditional protection for all women.
