  1. Raking the Fire
    When the people long ago used to be raking the fire the woman would say
    "Oh God of Heaven lessen the heat of the fire for the poor souls in Purgatory."

    Starting Work
    When the people used to be starting any work they used to say,
    "Dia linn san oidhche"
    "Dia linn san ló
    "Dia linn is Muire linn
    "Go deo is go deo.
