    People from all over come to Lassar, the indulgences are gained from the fifteenth of August to the eighth of September. People long ago used to go to Lassar in their bare feet and do the stations while walking around the well. Then they took a cup or whatever the people were drinking out of. They dipped it three times in the well and took a sip each time. Tobhar Eilbh is much the same as Lassar. But it is situated on the side of the mountain.
