    Holy wells
    There is a blessed well near her. They say they obtain a cure for sore eyes by visiting there, and saying the usual prayers for the paying of rounds. The custom is to say three rosaries and go three rounds of the well for every rosary and also you must have good faith in them. It is called 'Tobar na croise'
    They go there for various diseases and drink of the water and bathe the effected parts in it, this is the custom at every well.
