- It is the custom in this part of the country for the people to make rush crosses on the day before St. Brigid's day and on that day they should be put up. The rushes are to be brought into the house in the following way: Some girl goes out and brings them to the door and kneels on the door step and says, "go down on yours knees and open your eyes and let in Brigid."
