May fire and fairies
By Peggy Hickey
My memory
On May Eve there used to be a bonfire in an open green area in the estate where I lived. Before I went out to the bonfire my auntie Bunny would sew some salt in to the hem of my skirt, this was done to protect me from the fairies.
When did this happen?
Around 1937
Where did this happen?
Rosbrien, Limerick

lovely idea to collect the memories of people before these traditions are forgotten.
