  1. Holy Wells

    Share Share Post
    There is a holy well in Glasealy townlands five miles north of Athy (Kildare). It is just beside Glasealy grave yard. It is near the corner of the field. The name of the man is Mr. Plewman. People go there on St. Patrick's day. They wear badges in honour of St. Patrick. They take pictures and rosary-beads and medals to the well. After St. Patrick's day you would find a lot of things around the well.
