  1. Christmas

    Share Share Post
    One Christmas Night long ago Our Lord, dressed as a beggar, went around the city looking for alms. The city was situated where Lough Neagh is. In the whole city not a person did He meet to give Him help. Then, at a word from Him, the well, nearby, overflowed and submerged the city and its inhabitants. The towers of that city are seen on Xmas Night.
    A green Xmas makes a fat churchyard.
