    Folklore.
    In olden times the people of this district used to be preparing with black thorn sticks for to go to the town on Patrick's day and rise a row.Shamrocks or green harps mad of green-ribon are worn on St.Parrick's day.Long ago there were a lot of old-customs associated with Patricks day.
    When pulling the shamrocks you should pull a basket full of them for if you dident you would have no luck for the rest of the year.
