    Oidhche na Marbh
    1. Bá eadh an gnás a bhí ag ná sean daoiní fadó, teinidh mhór a chur síos, an t-urlár a scuabadh agus pota bruightín a fhágail cois na teineadh agus spúnóg a shathadh ann, fá choinne na mairbh. Ar maidín lá thar ná bhárach ag éirigh dobhtha bhíodh an pota folamh.
    2. Bhíodh gnás eile acu fad ó shoin fosta. Gach Oidhche Shamhna rachadh cailín óg as gach teach amach go gáradh an cháil. Bhéarfadh siad leobhtha cúpla ceirtlinn isteach an toighe. Chrochadh siad anuas as na creataí iad. Cé bith an chead fhear a thiocfadh isteach an toighe an oidhche sin, sin an fear a bheadh aicí lé pósadh.
    3. Gach Oidhche Fhéil Eoin fad ó shoin bá ghnáth leis na sean-daoiní teinidh mhór a chur amach in onóir Eoin Baiste. Bhéadh siad uilig cruinnighthe thart ar an teinidh ag Urnaighe. Nuair a bhéadh siad ag imtheacht ná bhaile, bhéarfadh duine as gach teach leis smután dearg amach as an teinidh. Rachadh sé thart ar a chuid talamh uilig leis, D'eurfaidhe annsin go raibh an talamh sin Beannaighthe.
