    Articles the people have value on.
    The people have value on certain things and they are preserved to the present day.On St.Bridget's Night they make a wooden cross and they nail it to the rafter in honour of St Bridget.There is not a house but there is a big line of crosses as they make one every year.They visit St,Bridgets Well on that day and they take home a bottle of the water and keep it.They bring in a branch of a tree on May Day and hang it over the door and they leave it there until May Day again.
