- On St Bridget's night a crowd of girls dress up in old clothes and go out with an old doll made out of a turnip with a potato for a head. They cut eyes and a mouth out of the potato.
They make a dress for it. Before they do this they make "St. Brigit's cross" and nail it on the rafter. They go to every house and say "Honour St Brigit and they show the doll. They get a penny or an egg. They buy a dress with the money.- Collector
