  1. Holy Well

    Share Share Post
    In Killcolman graveyard there is a holy well commonly called St. Colman's Well. It is situated in a small cave attached to his little church.
    Once there was a man nearly blind coming to the well, and he heard a mighty voice saying.
    "Go to the well and say two rosaries, one walking round it, and the other kneeling at the mouth. Drink the water and you shall be cured".
    He did so, and as he was coming home he could see as well as ever.
