Kneel and say ten Hailmarys and ten Our Fathers then go round the mound seven times, saying a Hailmary each time, go on your knees from the mound to the cross at the well and say ten Hailmarys. Make the sign of the cross three times with the little stone left on the cross and kiss the cross each time. Then go round the well ten times saying an Our Father and a Hailmary each time. Rest on one knee each time as you pass the stone that has the mark of St Patrick's knee. Come to the cross again and do as before, then come to the well and say three Hailmarys then fill the cup with water and taste it.
