- (continued from previous page)The May bush was stuck on the dunghill on May eve. In Nenagh town still a small branch of whitethorn is placed over the street door on most houses on May eve.
The blossom of the redthorn should not under any circumstances be brought into the house. It is very unlucky.
Primroses are also unlucky. They kill goslings in the hatching eggs. The person who brings candlesticks etc into a corpse house for a wake must also take them away.
All clocks are stopped when a person dies in a house and all presses and boxes with locks are opened.
