- Forty years ago on an Easter Sunday morning most of the members of the family in a country house got up at daylight to see the Sun dancing. Then they put on a pot of potatoes and anyone that was not going to Holy Communion ate potatoes and as many eggs as they could eat.
When they came home from Mass, dinner was got. In the evening the children prepared what they called a "cludóg" that is they made a fire outside and boiled eggs and ate as many eggs as they could with bread and milk. - You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
