    it is she that is keeping the sky up.
    She feels proud of her difficult accomplishment and the words of her tune are said to be -
    "strong, strong", meaning - am I not strong!

  2. Old Wells

    Share Share Post
    Saint Ultan's Well is in Mr. Saw's lawn in Ardbraccan.
    The Pattern Day of Saint Ultan is on 1st September every year.
    The water of the well cures the toothache but to obtain a cure the people must take a drink of the water as well as believe in its power to cure.
    For a sore eye a bit of cloth is dipped in the water and rubbed to sore part. To cure a headache the water is rubbed on to the head. To cure sore feet they must be washed in the water of the well.
    This well can cure other ailments too.
