    (continued from previous page)
    On Hallow Eve night some people place a briar around the churn so as to prevent the fairies from stealing the butter.

  2. Old Prayer

    Share Share Post
    It was on a Good Friday after-noon
    The Jews came in with axe and spear in their hands
    They pierced Our Saviour throught the heart and hands
    His precious blood did spill
    His Blessed Mother standing by with a pitiful sigh and heavy moan
    Whoever shall say this prayer three times by night.
    And three times by day never will die in mortal sin
    And the gates of Hell shall never enter in
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
