- A person in Ballycullen whose butter was taken by having a well skimmed went to a smith who was known to remedy such trouble. The smith came and heated the coulter of a plough and some other parts. He put some parts of the plough into the churn and the others under it and brought the butter. He told them that the butter of that churning would not be fit for use. All future churns, however, were good. The smith then said he could bring the person who had taken their luck to the spot, but the woman of the house would not allow him to do so, as she said she would prefer not to know who had done them the injury.
- People keep Good Friday eggs to be eaten on Easter Sunday.
