  2. Festival Customs - St Patrick's Day

    Share Share Post
    St. Patrick's Day
    Long ago the children used to cut a laural bush on St. Patrick's Day and decorate it with pieces of coloured cloth and candles (like the May Bush). When they had it decorated they used to sing and dance around it.
    This is not done at all now.
