- (continued from previous page)any member of the family falls ill or meets with an accident this rag is worn by them, and it is supposed to bring a speedy death or a happy recovery. St Brigid blesses this rag and often the same rag is kept for years.
In every Catholic home on the night of the first of November, two holy candles are lit. This custom is carried out so as to show respect to our dead relations and friends and more especially for the relief of the poor suffering souls in Purgatory. The candles are scarcely ever outed but left to burn and quench of their own accord. - Transcription guide »You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
