- One prayer the old people had was[?]:- On good Friday. Our Saviour died. On Good Friday Our Saviour was crucified. The Jews came with long spears and pierced his heart through, his loving Mother being standing by with a heavy heart and a dismal cry.
Any one that says this prayer three times by day and three times by night shall never enter the gates of hell. When the old people used to visit houses if he was every minute in the day it was God save all here and God bless the work and thousand thanks to Jesus for everything This was on their lips every minute and hour in the day.
