    Emblems and Objects of value
    On St. Patrick's Day the people used put up a green chain of leaves in the cow house for the success of the cows in milk. On the first of May they put up a may bush and decorate it.
    On Christmas Eve the people make chains of berries and hang them at the doors, in the centre of them there is a cross made of berries. They put up holly and ivy in the house also.
