It is so interesting to me that every custom we observe is rooted in practicality or superstition.
For example, in ancient China, firecrackers were used to scare demons away. In the same way, church bells served the same purpose.
Another interesting superstition holds that demons fear leather (hum, that’s interesting); the shoes tied to the back bumper of the bride & groom’s get away car will keep the couple from harm.
The list goes on and every so often I’ll share some with you.
