 Holiday celebration
St. Stevens Day
On St. Stephens Day (the day after Christmas) a procession, known
as The Wren Boy Procession takes place. A pole with a holly bush
would be carried from house to house and families dressed up in old
clothes and with blackened faces. In olden times an actual wren
would be killed and placed on top of the pole.

This custom has to a large degree disappeared but the tradition of

visiting from house to house on St. Stephens Day has survived and is
very much part of Christmas.

Veterinarian
 Nature of Work
Veterinarians care for pets, livestock,
sporting and laboratory animals, and
protect humans against diseases carried by
animals. Veterinarians diagnose medical
problems, dress wounds, set broken bones,
perform surgery, prescribe and administer
medicines, and vaccinate animals against
diseases. They also advise owners on care
and breeding. Most veterinarians are in
private practice. Some have a general
practice, treating all kinds of animals. The
majority, however, just treat small
companion animals such as dogs, cats, and
birds. Others treat both small and larger
animals, and some treat only large animals,
