    A Story
    Long ago one Christmas Night a man from Bruree went out to to count his sheep. After a while he went astray, and after sometime he saw a light. He went to the place where he saw the light, and he found that it was Ard - Patrick churchyard.
    There was Mass going on, but the people were all dead.
    The priest asked if there was any live person to answer Mass. The man went up to the altar and answered Mass.
