Festival custom's 4:6:38Maura Mc Keown, Hampston St., Balbriggan
Those facts were told to me by my mother Mrs. Mc Known, Hampton St. BalbrigganFeasts are celebrated in a certain way each year in this district. On St Stephen's day the boys of this district gather in crowds. Every street has a certain crowd. Each crowd of boys go round with the wren. On the morning of St Stephen's Day the boys go out in the fields and catch a wren. If they cannot catch it, they get a little box and cover it with feathers. During the twelve days of Christmas each group of boys go from house to house collecting pennies. These are the words they sing:-
"The wren, the wren, the King of all Birds,
On St Stephens Day she was caught in the forge.

Get up boys and give us a treat.
Up with he kettle and down with the pan,
A penny or two pence to bury the wren.
If you don't believe what I say,
Enter in John Butcher and we'll clear the way"
The next boy steps in and continues:-

I cut a big cow from head to heel,(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)- Bailitheoir
