- Holly is an emblem of Christmas. Red-berry holly is the sort of holly which is used in mostly all houses. Palm is an emblem of Palm Sunday. In the olden time when there were no badges the people used to put a sally kippen in the fire. Then when it was red they used to cool it in water. They would then draw a sign with the black kippen on the sleeve of their coat and those were the sort of badges the olden people had. At the present day there are stones brought from St. Benjamin's Well in Tullylease and looked upon as being blessed.
