1. Festival Customs - May Eve

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   The old custom of dressing the May Bush is still observed in this district. The children get a hawthorn bush and dress it with flowers, coloured strings, and coloured papers. They go from house to house saying:

   " A long life, a happy wife, and something for the May-Bush".

   When evening comes they light candles on it and dance and sing around it.

   People sometimes gather May flowers and throw them on the roof of the house in honour of Our Lady.

   Shrove Tuesday (or Pancake Night) Long ago on Shrove Tuesday night some people used to fill three bottles with water and place them outside on the windowsill. It was thought that bachelors who had died would come back and drink the water. In the morning the bottles were usually empty. Then the people of the house would go out to see if any of their property, such as barrows, wheels or gates were gone, and if they were they blamed the bachelors. It was said that one bachelor would steal from the other and leave it with the people he left behind him. Got from Patrick Lennon age 47 Sheephouse Drogheda
