   On Christmas Eve in most places a big candle is lit and put in the window, because it is said that the Blessed Virgin and Saint Joseph pass by every house that night, and put a special blessing on the house where the candle is lighting to show them light.

   Festival Customs
   In this locality Feasts are observed in different manners as they occur each year.

   On St. Stephen’s Day boys, and girls sometimes go in procession from house to house with decorated bushes singing the wren song. These bushes are decorated with coloured papers and other decorations. The song is as follows:-
   “The wren, the wren, the king of all birds
   On St. Stephen’s Day she was caught in the furze
   Although she is little, her family is great
   Rise up land-lady, and give us a “trate”
   Up with the kettle, and down with the pan
   Give us our answer and let us go on”

   Money is generally gathered by the wren boys.

   On Hallow E’en men and boys go round
