The last Sunday in July is known in Ireland as Bilberry Sunday, Garland Sunday, or Reek Sunday. Traditionally, this day was celebrated with pilgrimages to hilltops and holy wells. The most popular annual pilgrimage still takes place at Ireland's holy mountain Croagh Patrick, aka "the Reek", in Co. Mayo, in honour of St. Patrick who spent 40 days fasting on top of the mountain.
