- The usual Irish custom on St John's Eve in this locality is to light bonfires. These fires are chiefly lit near potato gardens as the Irish think that it prevents blight from coming on their potatoes. It is a beautiful sight to witness the hill sides ablaze on St John's eve but on the following day the black hillside look dreary.
