  1. Holy Wells
    There are three of four holy wells in my district. There are two of them very near my house. Saint Seman's and Saint Gaor's. People visit St. Seman's well in his feast - Day in August. It is at the lack almost of the Presbyterean Church. There is a wall all around it with a gate and over the gate there is an archway in the form of a cross. Rose bramble bushes are to be seen out over the wall. Before you enter the well, you would see a big flag stone outside and if you were making rounds you would have to take three stones from underneath the flag and stand at the gate.
