St Bridget's Day
3rd June 1938
On St Bridget's night all the little girls go round to the houses with the brídóga.
They make little dolls out of rags or turnips for the occasion.
When it is getting dark that evening they go round in gangs and go into every house and say "Honour the brídóg". The woman of the house gives them something to honour St Bridget. That day everybody makes crosses with two sticks and straw and hangs them on the wall.
