    St Patricks Day - Buy new clothes on this day
    First Sunday in May - If you forget beads or prayer book on this day you will forget something every other Sunday of the year.
    St John's Day - Bonfire - Get bone of animal. Put standing up straight. Lay turf around and light. Leave there until fire quenches and then go round deiseal saying five Ave Maria.
    Do not on any account quench the fire Make a torch of bag dipped in oil. Light at fire wave three times round your head and throw into the fire.
