    Emblems. 23.6.'38
    Long ago the people had different emblems and objects which they hung up in the thatch on feast days. They hung up crosses on the feasts of St. Patrick and St. Brigid. Some people made these crosses of plaited draw and rushes. When they were made they were placed in a safe place in the thatch.
    The May bush is hung up on May Eve. Flowers are tied in bunches And hung upon it.
