Why is supposed
to be lucky to touch a chimney sweep?
Since pagan
times, the images of fire and hearth have been associated with good
luck.
Because of his blackened
face and his relationship with the hearth, the chimney sweep is
therefore said to carry luck with him wherever he goes.
If you meet him
and shake hands, the luck rubs off. This is why a chimney sweep often
pays a visit to the bride and groom at their wedding, as it's a good
omen for their future life together.
