AbstractAlmost all the Christian denominations are represented in the Pennsylvania population. The Pennsylvania German takes considerable interest in education. But there is another phase to this picture which is equally important culturally--the traditions, beliefs and superstitions of the people. The material of the following pages was collected entirely by the author by word of mouth. Almost every phase of activity is represented: childhood, marriage, death, luck, medicine, the weather, etc.
