Ros Ó gCáirbre - St. John's eve and St. John's day 23rd and 24th JunePeople visit the well and make rounds to obtain the cure of such diseases and afflictions as rheumatism, lameness, blindness, deafness, paralysis, delicacy, or birth disfigurements, and sores of any kind.Our Father, and Hail Mary are repeated five times while kneeling at the well. Most of the pilgrims then pay a visit to the Blessed Sacrament in the Parish Church.

Some pilgrims say the Rosary, Litany of Our Lady, and other prayers according to their devotion.(continues on next page)
