  1. A Blessed Well

    Share Share Post
    There is a well in a field of ours in the parish of Moynalty and its water will cure the rose. The water was brought to it from a blessed well at Loch Dearg.
    When there is no water in the well, the clay will do instead. The water is taken out of the well after sunset, or before sunrise. The person that is taking the water out of the well, must have a father and mother alive.
