- An Old CustomLong ago it was a custom here on twelfth night to get rushes that grow in the bog and to melt grease in a griset and draw the rushes through the grease - twelve of them.
Then a trench was made and the rushes were put in it and lighted and the Rosary was said while they would be burning. It was in honour of Twelfth night they were burned and they only lasted while the Rosary would be saying. Lillie McNamara, Castlejordan.
From Mrs Pettit, Castlejordan, April 8th, 1938.- Collector
