Conclusion
Now we can say that every country and every nation has its own superstitions, numerous good and bad luck signs. At the same time, some rituals are identical in different countries, although sometimes they have different meaning.
Some people refuse to believe in such things unless there is a scientific reasoning behind it.
But still the majority of educated, intelligent people hold on to a variety of superstitions even nowadays, despite of all modern scientific achievements and discoveries. We believe that we can control our destiny and lives by performing little and sometimes silly or just funny tricks. We will do all sorts of strange things to protect ourselves from bad luck and to improve our future.
We would like to conclude this work with a good quotation:
“The world moves and civilization progresses, but the old superstitions remain the same. The rusty horse-shoe found on the road is still prized as a lucky token, and will doubtless continue to be so prized; for human nature does not change, and superstition is a part of human nature." Robert Means Lawrence, M.D. (The Magic of The Horse-Shoe)
