    Palms are blessed on Palm Sunday. Nearly everybody brings Palm to the church to get it blessed. In the country the farmers put the palm in their bedrooms and in their outhouses. It is left there till the next Palm Sunday. It is taken down then and new palm is put up.
    In Clones there is a holy well. If a person going away to a foreign country takes a bottle of this water he will return safely.
    It is said that clay was lifted from the grave of Dean O'Neill for a short time after he died.
    Shamrocks are worn by the people on the 17th March in honour of St. Patrick. The people get little boxes of the shopkeepers and send away shamrocks to friends in foreign countries.
