The station lasted for a period varying from nine to fifteen days. In later times it was reduced to six, and at present only continues for three days. The station begins on the 1st of July, and continues until the 15th of August. The average number on the island is from one to two hundred ; but towards the close of the station time there is often from four to five hundred. The station commences with a visit to the Blessed Sacrament in St. Patrick's Church. Then certain prayers are said at St. Patrick's and St. Bridget's Cross, after which the pilgrim makes the circuit of the church seven times, of the large penitential bed six times, and of the smaller ones three times each ; during these circuits, which are made on the bare knees, a certain number of Paters and Aves is said. The first night is spent entirely in the prison chapel, and each pilgrim makes his confession on the second day. The penitent ‘brings his fast to the island, otherwise he cannot begin this station on that day. The only food allowed is oatmeal bread, with the water of the lake, or a cup of black tea. No whiskey is permitted within three miles of Lough Derg. The spiritual exercises are conducted by three or four secular priests, who remain on the island during the station time and are called always ‘friars’ by the people."
