  1. St. Stephen's day is the "wren boys" day in Ireland, and old custom which is dying out. In olden days this custom used to be very popular amongst all classes. On this morning people used to look forward to see the "wren boys" with all their antics and fancy dress.
    Twenty or more used to take part in this custom with music of all kinds. Some dressed as old men some as girls or old women. They used to start from some appointed place early in the morning.
