    The second game that is played is catching an apple with your mouth and taking a bite out of it. These games are played to perfection by the youngsters of the parish. For two or tree days before the feast youngsters go out the country looking for apples. Beams are bought and put on the fire to heat. The object of this is, if the two beans stick together when heated they say the two people they represent will be married.
