It is a very pleasant sight to see fine manly fellows, in their colourful garments, march along, in step to some fine old Irish tune.
- On this day, years ago, school girls wore crosses, on their right shoulder, known as Saint Bridget's crosses. These crosses were made by themselves, of bright coloured pieces of silk, sewn together on a cardboard foundation, out in the shape of a cross. These crosses had to be burned on Lady Day.
On Saint Bridgets night, young fellows dressed up like the wren-boys and went from house to house, preceded by one of the company, who carried a large Rag Doll, and asked for something for the "Biddy". On receiving money they danced or sang.
These customs on Saint Bridget's Day have died out altogether, and nothing is heard now of the crosses, that little girls collected such nice pieces for. Each little girl tried to have a better cross than the other.
