Can I ask my mom?

I think it's a Catholic thing. We had them when I was a kid. Supposed to 
keep the devil out, though nobody in my family is that literal about 
religion.

My mother always said up to hold in your good luck, down to let out (change) 
your bad luck. She'd flip it up when she was feeling lucky. She'd know the 
origin if I asked--she loves superstition and etymology.
