- The people in olden times had several feasts and we keep some of them still. St. Brigid's day, St. Catherine's day and Lady day are the first feasts of the year. These feasts fall on the 31st January, the 1st February. The people in olden times used to do no work those days but at the present day they do. Those three feasts were strictly kept by the women. They used not sew on any of these days.
