    The holly is put up on pictures in the house about a week before Christmas and taken down on Shrove Tuesday and burned under the pan on which the pancakes are made.
    It is supposed to be very unlucky to bring May-bush into the house.
    On Palm Sunday, at the first and second masses the Altar Boys go round with palm. The men wear it in their hats that day. It is put up behind pictures and when it turns brown it is burned in the fire.
    It is said to be unlucky to bring peacock's feathers into the house.
    It is unlucky to bring elder-tree into the house or burn it in the fire.
