    People also make "hot cross buns" and eat them on Good Friday in memory of the carrying of the cross through Jerusalem. They put a cross on each bun.
    They also mark a cross with soot on any eggs laid on Good Friday and they are kept and eaten on Easter Sunday.
    Here everyone goes to make the Stations at St. Brigid's well on that evening so that they will not have teeth aches during the year.
