    On St Stephen's day it was the custom with some people to bleed horses for the good of their health. On May day people make an Altar and decorate it with whitethorn. The rosary is said in front of this altar for the month of May. People usually shake Easter water on the bounds ditch to keep away "pushóg" women.
