- "Emblems and objects of value"Long ago on St. Bridgid's Eve the old people used to make a cross of straw and put it up o the scraw of the house and leave it there. They also used to put a potato hanging from the roof and when they were sowing their gardens that was always the first potato that was sown. They used to do the same with oats every year.
