    Our Holy Wells
    9-11-38
    Holy wells are not very numerous around my district however there is one. Every "All Saints Day" a very strange thing happens at it.
    There is a hole in between two stones & all the people that have sore feet stand in the hole & another person would pour three cupfuls of water on their feet & if any of the people were very sick pour one cupful of water on the palm of the person's hand & on their forehead.
