CORPUS CHRISTI EVE.
In North Wales, at Llanasaph, there is a custom of strewing green herbs and flowers at the doors of houses on Corpus Christi Eve.—Pennant’s Manuscript quoted by Brand, Pop. Antiq. 1849, vol. i. p. 297.
At Caerwis on Thursday after Trinity Sunday, which they call Dudd Son Duw, or Dydd Gwyl Duw, on the Eve before, they strew a sort of fern before their doors, called red yn mair—Pennant’s MS.
