"Some marriage-related superstitions have become part of Saint Andrew's feast day, November 30, and some on the eve.
One German custom is for single women who wish to marry to ask for Saint Andrew's guidance on the Eve (November 29) of his feast, then sleep naked that night; they will then see their future husbands in their dreams.
Another has it that young women should note the location of barking dogs on Saint Andrew's Eve: their future husbands will come from that direction ...":shhhh:
