    In olden times, it was very customary to use the blessed candle and holy water in the stalls. If anything was wrong with a cow after calving, the blessed candle was used. It was taken round her body while lighting making hte sign of the cross under and over her, and after this process, the cow was supposed to get better as vets were little known.
