It is believed that such things can bring illness and bad luck.

Complain about life

Also, don't complain about your life, health or finances.

Complaining only makes existing problems worse.

Other people's things

You should not wear other people's clothes, especially those that have been used.

This may attract the misfortunes of their previous owners to you.

What can be done

Attraction of luck

On this day, luck may unexpectedly smile upon you, so don’t miss the opportunity.

Easy job

You can work on this day, but you shouldn’t start new projects.

Expression of gratitude

It is better to start Sunday morning with prayer rather than fuss.

It is important not only to be physically present in the temple, but also to focus on spiritual practice and reflection.
