    There are many emblems and objects of value for certain things. Here are some of them; on Saint Patrick's Day people wear shamrock as an emblem and badges also.
    Another of them is; at Christmas holly is put up in the houses.On palm Sunday you get palm and hang it up in the house. On Easter Sunday people wear Easter lilies. A may bush is put up somewhere on may day.A holy picture or a piece of palm is always hanging in a cowshed to bring good luck.
