BLACK FRIDAY
GOOD FRIDAY WAS KNOWN AS BLACK FRIDAY IN IRELAND. ON THIS DAY, THE
FAMILY HAD A GREAT FEAST. NO MILK (OR MILK PRODUCTS) OR SUGAR COULD
BE EATEN, SO FOR THIS ONE DAY A YEAR THE PEOPLE BOUGHT SPECIAL STORE-
BREAD, JAM, AND BLACK TEA. THEY USUALLY ATE THREE TIMES AS MUCH ON
BLACK FRIDAY THAN THEY DID DURING THE REST OF THE YEAR.

Irish Blessing
An Irish Blessing
May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face
And Grains fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again
May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

The Old Apple Pie
Was the crust of the old apple pie
That was put there for you and for I
It was only a pin, that Mary stuck in
(It may be a nail or a pussy cat's tail)
'Neath the crust of the old apple pie.
