1000 Hail Marys
In France and other Catholic countries there is an old tradition to pray one thousand Hail Marys on December 24. It is believed that a special favour will be granted in return. While preparing the family meal for Christmas Eve mothers would recite their one thousand Hail Marys without fail, for they always had a small favour to ask Mary on behalf of one of their children or their husband.
