  2. St Colman's Well

    Share Share Post
    St Colman's well: This well is situated in the Killaspic, Kilchreest, Loughrea, Co. Galway. It is so called because St Colman spent a part of his time in a hut beside this well. The people perform there every year on the 1st of November.
    It is said that there is a cure for any disease in that well if the person to be cured says certain prayers to St Colman and firmly believes that is a cure in the water. If the person is cured they usually see a white trout in the bottom of the well.
    Our Lady's Well: This well is situated in Athenty. The people perform there every year on the 15th of August.
