What is recorded here

Kilbride in County Mayo holds a holy well, a ritual site where clean water still rises through earth that has drunk generations of prayer. People may have knelt at its edge, touched cold jars to fevered foreheads, or dropped coins into darkness because suffering loses some of its shape when shared with stone. The well does not need a grand legend; it needs only the memory of hands washed in its charge.
