They would go to church with the candle and you blessed yourself with some drops from it. The same was done to the chicken house, the rabbit warren and the rest. It was done so that no harm would come to anybody or anything. Then the candle was broken up and burnt. When anyone died at home, they would go the church all week with the blessed candle. It was kept lit during the whole mass. |
