Good Friday, Our Lord fied on the cross & people put a cross on the eggs with a pencil. - On St Johns Day the people light fires on the hills. Long ago it was called Bonfire night because the people used to light big fires & dance & sing around them.
On St Brigid's Day people bring things for St Brigid to bless them.- Collector
