1/20 in England: St Agnes Eve.

A girl might take a sprig of rosemany and one of thyme, sprinkle them three times. In the evening she puts one in each shoe & the shoes on each side of the bed. Her future husband will appear if she says:

St. Agnes that's to lovers kind,
Come ease the trouble of my mind.
