- We have a Blessed Well at Slievemore, the name of it is St. Colmans. The particular day for going to it is the 15th August, the old people say that there is a tradition in going to Blessed Wells, the first person that will be at it early in the morning will have his wish. The old people say that there is an omen in Blessed Wells, some people say that there is a little worm in it and if he comes up to the top of the water you or some one belonging to you will die.
There are special prayers to be said at it, seven “Our Fathers” seven “Hail Marys” and seven “Glories be to the Father”(continues on next page)
