Old Boy

Hi All,
There are many customs and superstitions that seem to be dying out. For instance when I was a boy if a woman had a baby almost the first thing they did when they could get out and about was to take the baby into a church. They called it 'CHURCHING' if I remember right. It was more urgent than getting the child baptised or christened as it was usually called in those days.
Similarly a woman would nevr go into church without covering their head. If they did not have a hat a scarf would do. Some ladies keep up this tradition but many do not bother.
