- In Slane there is a famous holy well one which St. Patrick was very much connected with. Every year a pilgrimage goes there to honour St. Patrick and bring home some water which is said to have healing powers. One year there was in the pilgrimage a woman who could not leave the bed. She begged her friends to get her some of the water. Her friends forgot to bring it to her so they obtained some water from a near well and gave it to her. She drank it and got better because she though she had the true water.
