Love Charm for St. Faith's Day

A cake is made with flour, spring water, salt and sugar by three maidens. No one may speak during the baking and each must turn the cake three times during the baking. It is divided into three parts and each maiden cuts her share into nine slices. Each slice must pass through the wedding ring of a woman wed over seven years. Then they undress and eat the slices saying "O good St. Faith, be kind tonight, and bring to me my heart's delight. Let me my future husband view and be my visions chaste and true."
The three maidens sleep in one bed with the wedding ring at the head of it.
