Jeritag" (Jeri Day?) and "Michaelitag

by Dr. Viktor Pratscher
Translated by Brad Schwebler

     On the farm "Jeritag" (Jeri Day?) and "Michaelitag" (Michaelmas) are of importance.  On these days the farmhands and "Salasch people" (field hands) come and go.  Debts and interest are due on these days.  On the occasion of the state holidays a procession with music took place in the evening hours the day before.  The windows are lit up and the flags are hoisted at the homes.  On the day of the holiday the music took place at the square.
