    In our house there are many crosses, crosses of Our Our Lord and crosses of many other saint, but there are no crosses of St.Brigid.
    Every Christmas holly is placed in the houses, and it is said on Christmas Eve a saint is on every thorn in the holly. Branches of palm are placed in the houses on Palm Sunday.
    On May night all the crops and fields are blessed with holy water. On that night crosses are made of rushes and placed in all the outside houses
