    his feast day is on the 4th September.
    It is very likely that it was St Ultan who founded the original parish church of Killinkere.

  2. Churning

    Share Share Post
    We have a churn at home. It is about three feet high. It is a foot 1/2 in width. The sides are round. Its age is six years. The parts belonging to it are the dash, the cup, and the lid.
    Churning is made once a week in winter, but it is made twice a week in summer. My mother and brothers churn.
    When they are churning, if a stranger comes in they say "God bless your work". They also take a brash, afraid they would take the luck of it
