superstition - upside down loaf of bread

[Steverino3006]

My mom always got after us if we put the loaf of bread in the bread basket upside down, and made us turn it over. We kept asking her why, and one time she said it was "pulling the Virgin Mary's hair". Then she said, "no, that's something else . . ."

any thoughts on either of these two superstitions?

In my region, the bread basket upside down= Jesus face upside down
that because the bread basket was identified with Eucharist...
it is no a superstition, but a expression of deep religious sense of simple people..

was that the BREAD upside down in the breadbasket, or the bread basket itself?
