- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)St Martin’s Day. On the eve of St Martin’s Day it is usual to “ spill the blood “ This is done by killing a fowl, usually a goose, but if one has no goose a hen, chicken or duck will do quite as well. Sometimes animals are killed. Let us assume that a farmer has an animal say a pig which takes ill earlier in the year.
He may say “ Well if it lives I’ll kill it for St Martin “ This pronouncement “ marks “ the animal and in many cases it recovers. If so it is fattened and killed about St Martin’s Day. The blood in this case is always thrown away - given to Martin, because the beast was “ marked “ for him.
