  1. (continued from previous page)
    the people go around the field on their bare knees saying the Rosary. Theydo the round seven times and then stop at the well to ask their request.
    Any person visiting any of the blessed wells should leave some offering on the alter.
    St. Josephs well is flooded by the river in Winter but in Summer it is quite dry. The well is in a little field in which there are many shrines.
