8. The houses were very well cleaned; people put a very nice table-cloth on a table and there an orange with a coin. Thus, all the fruit would be blessed and the money was for the church as a gift. The ‘ FOLAR’- in two versions: sweet and with brown boiled eggs(boiled with onion layers) on the top; and made of salty smoked ham used to be offered to the priest and his fellows and, later, eaten by the whole family at lunch.
