  2. Local Graveyards

    Share Share Post
    There are only four graveyards in my parish Kilgeever Aughavale Glosh and Murrisk Kilgeever Graveyard is situated under the foot of Kinnock hill. It is square in shape. There are the ruins of a church standing still. There is a blessed Well in the Graveyard. Some people come from far away to perform a station. The station is performed by going round the Well five times barefooted saying five Our Fathers and five Hail Marys each time. You finish up by saying a few prayers for the dead.
