RAIN AT BRIDAL OR BURIAL.

 

"BLESSED is the bride

Whom the sun shines on,

Blessed is the dead

Whom the rain rains on."

If it rains while a wedding party are on their way to the church, or on returning from it, it betokens a life of bickering and unhappiness.

If the rain falls on a coffin, it is supposed to indicate that the soul of the departed has "arrived safe."
