  1. Saint Attracta

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a monster out at Glenavoo who used to go around devouring the cattle and crops of the place, all the people were afraid of it until Saint Attracta came and chased him down a hill and put him into a hole and blessed a well that was there. She then gave the water to the people to sprinkle on their crops and homes and that no harm would come to them. Glenavoo is a townland in the parish of Kilmacteige in County Sligo. Stations are performed there every year on the last Sunday of July.
