- There are many Holy Wells in Ireland. There is one in Kells called after its patron saint, St. Colmcille. Each year at a certain date most of the townspeople assemble there and decorate it with flowers and candles. During the evening the band plays all the popular tunes. An old legend states that five fishes appear on a certain night of the year. It is situated at a point almost north of the town. After the merriment has ended the Rosary is recited and the people go home.
