- (continued from previous page)fifteen decades of the Rosary.
There are three other heaps of stones beside the Altar. The pilgrim goes round each of these heaps and says one Our Father, One Hail Mary, and a Gloria when making the circuit at each.
Then he goes down to the lough and says nine our Fathers, nine Hail Marys, and nine Glorias, looking out towards the lough, and seven (Hail) Hail Marys, and seven Our Fathers, standing with his back towards the water. Then he gets six stones and leaves a stone in each heap. Then he says seven Our Fathers, seven Hail Marys, and seven Glorias in St. Peter's chair. Then the station is finished.
Every person from the surrounding districts makes this station during the summer months.
