Lockdown Longford Lore – Heritage Week 2020

Four sure signs there's going to be a wedding

Ní ceart go cur le chéile

There is strength in unity

Comb your hair while looking in a mirror and eating an apple

Your future husband will appear!

crowing hens and whistling women

Party at the crossroads for the turned-out whistling women

If you look at the moon over your left shoulder

great misfortune!

To each cow its calf

to every book its copy

A Fat Pig in a Sty

never sees a hungry one go by

If you see a red-haired woman on your journey

it is deemed unlucky!

As the tree is bent so it will grow

Don't interfere with the fairies dancing underneath

People leaving old home should leave cat behind in the house

It used to be the weasel was the deal breaker

A spark from a candle means a letter

Granard's greatest love story - Kitty Kiernan & her fiancée Michael Collins, General of the Free State Army.

Welcome to a selection of Irish folklore interpretations
