  1. At the head of our old historic town, Kells stands St Columba's Well. It is approached by a long and I am sorry to say badly kept lane.
    On the ever of St Columba's feast townspeople gather at the well recite, the Rosary and sing hymns.
    We know that cures are obtainable at this holy place for last year Mrs Reilly Carrick St. was suffering from toothache. Her face was very swollen. She went to the Well blessed her self with the water there and immediately the swelling went down and the pain ceased.
