  1. The Riabhach Days

    Share Share Post
    The three last days of March are called the reabach days. Those three days are the coldest days in the year.
    Once there was an old cow and when April came she thought she did not need to stay in at night so she stayed out at night. April borrowed three days from March and those days came very bad and at the end of the three days the cow was dead.
