  1. In almost every house in this district certain articles are placed in position in honour of a Saint. On St. Brigids day people make crosses and they hang them up on the wall. On May day people get a May-bush and they put it in front of the house and they decorate it with flowers. On Palm Sunday the priest distributes palms to the people in honour of Our Lord's Triumphant Entry into Jerusalem when the people strewed branches along the road to welcome Him.
