Nuair a thiocfaidh tú chomh fada seo tá dha rogha agat.
-
Cas ar dheis i dtreo Cheann Mhása thar Stáisiún Aimsire Cheann Mhása. Ar Cheann Mhása feicfidh comhartha ó aimsir an dara cogadh domhanda.

Oileán Mhic Dara
Rudaí Le Déanamh/Things to do
Céadta bliain ó shin do chaomhnaigh Naomh i gCarna darb ainm Mac Dara. Ar oileán beag trí mhíle amach ón gcósta a bhí sé ina chónaí. Bhí séipéal beag aige dá raibh cloch chinn air agus deirtear gur thóg na haingil dó é in aon oíche amháin. Tá fothraigh an teampaill sin in a sheasamh fós agus tá tobar beannaithe an Naoimh ar an oileán freisin.
Mhair sé ina aonar ar an oileán seo agus ní bhíodh de bhia aige ach arbhar a mheileadh sé féin le dhá chloch agus braon uisce. Anois is aríst, bhíodh iasc úr aige agus nuair a ghabhfadh aon duine isteach san oileán thabharfadh sé braon bainne chucu.
Tá sé de nós ag daoine riamh ná na seolta d’ísliú ag dul thar Oileán Mac Dara in onóir don Naomh. Uair amháin rinne mairnéalach éigin faillí ar an nós sin agus bádh é cúpla céad slat ón oileán. Tugtar ‘Mac Dara’ fós mar ainm air ag go leor páiste sa pharóiste mar gheall ar an Naomh.
Titeann lá Fhéile Mac Dara ar an 16ú Iúil. Téann lear mór daoine go hOileán Mic Dara an lá sin chuile bhliain ar oilithreacht. Ceaptar go bhfuil an Naomh curtha san oileán.
​
Hundreds of years ago a saint named MacDara was preserved in Carna. He lived on a small island three miles off the coast. He had a small chapel with a headstone on it and it's said that the angels built it for him in one night. The ruins of the temple are still standing and the blessed well of the saint is on the island also. He lived alone on the island and he used to have no food besides corn that he milled himself with two stones and a drop of water. Now and again, he would have fresh fish and when someone would come to the country he would give them some milk. It is tradition for people to lower their sails going over to MacDara Island in honour of the saint. One time a sailor neglected this tradition and he drowned a couple hundred yards from the island. A lot of children in the parish are still given the name 'Mac Dara' because of the saint. The Feast of St.MacDara falls on the 16th of July. A large amount of people go to MacDara Island on a pilgrimage on that day every year. It is believed that the saint is buried on the island.

Rudaí Le Déanamh
B'fhear an-naofa é Naomh Ciarán. Chuir sé go leor mainistreacha ar bun in Éirinn. Is é a chuir Chluann Mhac Nóis ar bun in aice na Sionaine. Is in Árainn a fuair Ciarán a chuid scolaíocht. Fuair sé bás ar an naoú lá de Mheán Fhómhair agus tá lá mór againn ar an lá sin ó shin. Tá tobar déanta ann le haghaidh daoine a bheith ag tabhairt turais ann agus cill bheag ann fadó a rinne Ciarán agus tá Cill Chiarán mar ainm ar an áit ó shin. Tagann go leor daoine ag tabhairt turais ann Dé hAoine nó Dé Domhnaigh.
Tugann siad leo cuid den chaonach a mbíonn ag fás ar na clocha mar tá sé go maith le haghaidh leighis dá mbeadh créacht ar dhuine a bheadh dona gearr go mbeadh sé go maith.
​
St.Ciarán was a very holy man. He founded many monasteries in Ireland. He founded Clonmacnoise beside the river Shannon. Ciarán received his education in Inishmore. He died on the 9th of September and there is a celebration on that day since. A well has been made there for people to visit and a small church that Ciarán built long ago and the place has been called Kilkerrin since. A lot of people come and visit the place on Friday or Sunday. They bring with them some of the moss that grows on the stones as it is good for healing someone who had a wound.
