    Folklore.
    In olden times the people of this district used to be preparing with black thorn stick for to go to towns on Patrick's day and rise a row.
    Shamrocks or harps made of green ribons are worn on St Patrick's day.Long ago there were a lot of old customs associated with Patrick's day. When pulling the shamrocks you should pull a basket-full of them for if you didnt you would have no luck for the rest of the year.
