How many of you have a horseshoe nailed above your door? This tradition dates back hundreds of years and is said bring you luck. The actual story is all to do with keeping the Devil away.
The story is that Saint Dunstan was once asked by the Devil to shoe his single hoof.
Saint Dunstan realised who the Devil was and proceeded to tie him up with ropes and then nailed a horseshoe to the Devil’s hoof in such a manner that caused him great pain. The Devil begged for mercy and Dunstan only agreed to remove the shoe and release the Devil after the Devil promised never to enter a place where a horseshoe is displayed.
