  1. Prayers in Olden Times

    Share Share Post
    One prayer the old people had was -
    On Good Friday Our Saviour was crucified
    The Jews came with long spears and pierced his heart through, His Loving Mother standing by with a heavy heart and a dismal cry.
    Any one that says this prayer three times by day and three times by night shall never enter the gates of hell.
    When the old people used to visit houses even if it was every minute in the day they would say "God save all here, God bless the work and A " Thousand thanks to Jesus for everything. This was on their lips every minute in the day.
