Still in use in Lancashire less than 50 years ago, this name was a survival of the ancient Norse ceremonial custom of drinking minni to the dead, who were supposed to be with the gods in Valhalla. Such days of commemoration were called Mind Days or more commonly Minnying Days. They actually constituted a memorial service and feast, usually held one month after a person’s death. This custom seems to have died out in favour of the custom of |i| drinking to the continued good health of the living. >.B.lacerlß WAITEMATA QUALITY PRODUCT ~ - 1 0 «. hospitality
