  1. Religious Stories

    Share Share Post
    Stories are told about the Mass. I never heard tell of a person asking the priest a question during Mass. There is a place in Matthew Larkin's bog at Aclamon Co. Wexford called the Priest's Cave. In penal day a priest said Mass in a Cave that was there. One Sunday while he was saying Mass he was beheaded by the Red Coats. It was on the 7th May. Every year even up to the present day bells are heard ringing on the 7th May. In olden times if a person did a wrong deed he would have to fast three days or maybe a week. I don't know of any stories about Bishops or priests.
