    Share Share Post
    The people of Cratloe long ago would say prayers that they did not learn at school.
    When they would going to bed at night they would say “There are four corners in my bed there are four angels on it spread Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, God bless the bed that I lay on.
    When they would hear bad news “The lord between us and all harm”
    When a person would be going away from a house the person inside would say “God speed you”
    When a person would give something to another person he would say “ God reward you”
