  1. Cure for the Rose

    Share Share Post
    This cure was told by Hannah McLaughlinn of Meenavoy Convoy. To cure the sufferer the last candle lit at a wake and which is not burned out is to be rubbed on the ground three times after sun rise and then rubbed on the sufferer. This is repeated before sun set in teh Name of Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
    At the end of three days the sufferer will be cured.
