Does it ring a bell?

Tonight we won't have bonfires around but I have already collected and prepared  my "St John's plants" so that I can wash my face in the morning. According to tradition it helps to keep the evil away. Not sure about that extent but it is really refreshing to wash your face with the perfume of the aromatic plants as soon as you get up. My mother-in-law says they used to even wash their hair with it. I am sure you have heard of it. Have you got yours ready and waiting for the morning dew?

Read about the tradition of the day in Ireland. Does it ring a bell?
