  1. Mass In Olden Times

    Share Share Post
    In olden times the priests used not be allowed to say mass in public. If they were caught saying Mass they would be put to death. They used to go to some lonely place and the people used to go there to attend Mass. The teachers used not be be allowed to teach Irish or cathechism.
