    (continued from previous page)
    It is used in the homes just the same as holy water taken home from the chapel. It is never used as is ordinary spring water. People say it would not boil on the fire no matter how long it would be left on the fire to boil. In winter time the water will not freeze. It is situated in the field of a protestant farmer.
