    Song said on St. Stephens Day.

    Dreoilín, Dreoilín Rí na n-éán,
    Lá Fhéile Sthiopáin gabhadh é,
    Ní mór é an dreoilín,
    Is beag é é féin,
    Is dá bfághainn-se capaire,
    Domhseochaid mé céim.

  2. St John's Night

    Share Share Post
    On Saint John's night all the children gather together and go round gathering turf to make a bon-fire. When the fire is made they dance and sing round it. And each one when going home brings a coal of fire with him. In olden times the people brought milk to the bon-fire and the bought loaves and sweetcakes and had a tea-party round the bon-fire.
