- (continued from previous page)a holy well in Kilfintan, which he is said to have blessed before he died. Everybody visits it on the three first Sundays of August. They say prayers at the well. There is a big cross at the well and everybody kisses it when they are going home. They bring some of the water home with them. Everyone that goes to the well on these three Sundays gain an Indulgence. But if they do not go the three Sundays they will not gain any.
