    He begins by saying the Creed and the Act of Contrition. Then he goes around the first mound saying at the same time one our Father ad three Hail Marys and at the end of this station he throws a stone or pebble up on top of the mound. He goes along then and does the very same thing at each of the other stations.
    When the nine stations are over the person returns to the well and drinks the water and washes sores and painful parts with it. Then he brings some water home in bottles for use during the year.
