    Stories of the Holy Family
    Some of the stories which are connected with the Holy Family are: One winter's night when Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin were looking for shelter, and they knocked at one door and asked for shelter but the people of the house said they could not help them.
    But Our Lord said that they would cu the green rushes, and put them under them. It is said that if you lie or sleep on green rushes that you would never get cold.
