In Brittany when Il housewife begins
to knead dough she makes cross with
her right hand, the left being placed in
the trough. If Il cat enters the room, 1t
is believed the bread will not rise.
1t is supposed that certain women can
cause the dough to multiply itself. On
the coast of the channel the dough Is
adjured to initiate the leaven, the mil
Ter and the baker and to rise.
The oven is a sacred object and con-
nected with crowds Of superstitions.
The oven Is dedicated, with ceremo-
MES. In certain places in Brittany the
wood is watered with blessed water.
Bread must not be cooked on certain
days, as OH Holy Friday or during the
night of All Saints, when the ghosts
would eat it.
