- (continued from previous page)the mother took a bottle of the milk with her and went to the priest while Hugh and his brother and sister kept on churning. Foam arose on the milk but they had to keep on churning.
The priest blessed the milk and told her to spill three drops of it into the churn in the Name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost. She did as she was told and after a little while the butter came on the milk.
The drop of milk, which remained in the bottle had to be left in it and the bottle corked and kept in the house. After this the butter was never again brought off the milk.
