    The day before St Bridgets day the man of the house goes out and cuts a bundle of rushes and leaves them at the gable of the house, and then he chooses a girl as Bridget, she goes out and puts the rushes under her arm and comes in and puts it under the table, They people of the house sit to the supper when it is over they make crosses out of the rushes and puts them over every door in the house.
