  1. Folklore - An Old Tale about St Patrick

    Share Share Post
    There are many places in my district which Saint Patrick was supposed to visit.
    He visited one place not far from my house where there is a well which is now known as Sait Patrick's well. There is one tree growing over it and there is one branch on it the shape of a snake.
    Long ago the people used to come to it on pilgrimages and each person brought a stone which still remains there in a big heap.
