The May Altar
By Rose McHugh
My memory
On May Day we got out of the press under the stairs, some small vases and we also had to get a small linen cloth with a lace edging. This was placed under the statue of Our Lady. Cowslips and primroses were put in the small vases each side of the statue. Also, my mother banned us from bringing May Blossom into the house – why I don’t know. This is my memory from Rathdowney, Co Laois
When did this happen?
1940 -1965
Where did this happen?
Rathdowney, Co. Laois
