    1. On St John's Day long ago the old people used to say Seven Rosarys to St John to bring a blessing down on the family.
    2. On the eve of St John's Day bonfires are lighted on the tops of high hills. All the people go to the nearest bonfire, and they sing and dance till the fire burns down.
