- (continued from previous page)two fishes and their sides roasted.There is a well in Keadue called Lassar's well. People go there and pray. They wash themselves in a stream behind the well. Then they go round to the well and make stations. They leave a cloth on a bush as a relic.There is a story connected with this well. Once upon a time there was a Protestant man living not far from this well. He could not understand why the people used be coming to this well. He said that the water was the same as any other water. Once he brought a can of water from the well. He put it on the fire to boil. He had to throw out the water after awhile because it would not boil.
