  1. St Bridgids' Crosses. The way they are made is there is one big cross made and on this cross are three other crosses.
    Made of wood with rushes and straw woven round the crosses, and a pointed end for sticking to the roof or rafters.
    Garland Sunday. On Garland Sunday all the people go to the Jobernaul for some cures. It is supposed that the Blessed Virgin was seen beside the well and there are cures in it.
    Twelve Days of Christmas. The people leave the Christmas candle lit for one hour each day.
