IRELAND.
A correspondent of N. & Q. (3rd S. vol. i. p. 446) mentions a custom at Wexford,[82] of lighting candles (more or less) in every window in the house, on the night of the vigil of All Souls, and when travelling along a country road where farmhouses and cottages are numerous, the effect is quite picturesque on a dark November eve.
[82] This custom extends over the whole of Ireland, and is common in some parts of the Continent.
