  2. St Brigid's Band

    Share Share Post
    In olden times people always kept what was known as St Brigid's Band. On the night before St Brigid's Day a decade of the rosary was said, in honour of St Brigid and a piece of cloth was put out on the hedge, next day this cloth was taken in, and kept as a cure for a headache.
