  1. Holy Thursday and Good Friday

    Share Share Post
    No other customs are common to the above days, other than the usual religious ceremonies held in the Parish Church.
    Crowds flock to the Devotions on those days and take part in the Adoration of the Holy Cross
    All cakes baked for Good Friday have a cross marked on them.
    "Hot cross buns" are baked on that day also.

    People are not to shed any blood on Good Friday e.g. kill fowl etc.
