Code: NFRBHB0908PB
Customs, superstitions and their romantic origins. Have you ever wondered why the bride wears a veil, why men and women button their garments in different direction, and why it is considered unlucky to walk under ladders?? Do you know the origins of throwing confetti at weddings, of playing cards or the doctor's red lamp? Many widespread beliefs, supersitions and customs have been with us from our earliest days. How did it Begin? traces the roots and backgrounds of these various traditions, many of which we take for granted without knowing why. At the same time, the book reveals a great deal abou the drama of human civilization from pre-Christian times to the technological present. * Good condition - general cover and spine wear / creasing * Angus & Robertson - 1996 Edition * ISBN - 97870207182174 *
