    Holy Wells.
    People who have rheumatism drink the water, and a people who have any disease such as consumption rub the water on their faces three times.
    There are offerings laid at the well, every person who visits the well and who perform stations there leave a little treasure on the altar when they are leaving such as a button or a sweet or any other offering but it is the custom to leave something.
