In the past only girls and young unmarried woman foretold their future to see their potential husbands. Nowadays both boys and girls enjoy that day.

The purpose (target) of the fortune telling is to find out something about future partners.

Saint Andrew's Eve is a fantastic opportunity to meet your old friends and get to know new people. Although people don't take fortunes seriously, they have a great time, so I thoroughly recommend this festival.
