Do you know this custom?

Have you ever seen it?

Or done it yourself?

 

[Zebra]

a Swedish tradition?

It started in Serbia as a means to keep the people moving and hinder the Roma pick pockets from scoring .
Later it developed into Football when they got sick of the pole getting in the way .
It became a goal and then later plural .
But the Roma PPs loved the change until this very time .

Which happens to be 21.38 BST .

I have seen it, but never done it.

At a church meeting today of some of the elder ladies, one woman brought us all "Maybaskets" she had made and filled with chocolates, and we had a good reminisce about how we all, as children, looked forward to May Day, for making Maybaskets of construction paper and lace, filling them with treats or flowers, then we'd hang them on a neighbor's door knob and knock and run away.

Sweet memories from an innocent time.

I read about it in some very very old stories.
