   Here is why it is so called. One day a man was sowing oats. It was on the Tuesday before our Lord was crucified. Jesus passed along by when this man was sowing the oats. And he said to this man. " If the spies come this way and ask did you see me say that you saw me pass this way when you were sowing the corn". The next day the man went out to look at the corn and he was surprised to see if up in breasd. While he was looking at the corn the spies came along and they asked him if he had seen Jesus lately and he replied that he had seen him on the day he sowed the corn. So the spies went back as they said it woul no no use following Jesus if he had such a long start on them. From Phil McLoughlin Rocullion Cloone Farmer aged 58
