    the well namely scapulars, beads and medals.In doing the station at it, the five decades of the rosary have to be said, and any other prayers one likes.
    The water of it is drunk and is always carried home. There is no fish in the well. The old people say she was a sister of Saint Lasser. This story was told to me by my father and is a very old one.
