    1. New Year's Day.
    On this day people do not like to give milk away.
    2. St. Bridgets Day.
    On this day little girls go from house to house with a "Brígid óg." St. Bgt. said every second from my day onwards will be fine.
    3. St. Patrick's Day.
    All the Catholics in Ireland wear green on that day. St Patrick said every day from my day onwards will be fine.
    4. May-Day.
    People do not like to give money or milk away on that day. Some people tie red cloths to the cows tails on the "May Eve" for fear the milk would be taken away
