- St. Brigid's Feast
In older times St Brigid's feast was kept as a great feast on St Brigid's Eve the people used to gather green rushes and make crosses of them and they used to have a special supper of rice that night. - It was also known as Serapt Night. It was the old custom to have pancakes, bacon, and fish for supper. This is an old saying, "It is a lonesome Seraft without bacon".
