  1. A Story - A Holy Well

    Share Share Post
    There is a Holy Well in my parish. It is caled Saint Brigids well. It is to cure the sight. One day a man went to cure his eyes. When he was doing the last round a voice said to him to go and rub his eyes with the water of the well. When he had washed his eyes he was immediately cured. Everyday since he prayed to god in thanksgiving for this wonderful miracle.
