Lá Fheile Bríd sona daoibh go léir!

A lovely article from the National Museum of Ireland covering the various nósanna (traditions) of this first day of Irish spring - Imbolc.

Whether you see her as a Celtic goddess, a Christian saint, or a 5th century abbess from Kildare tis wonderful to have a national holiday dedicated to a powerful woman. Gwan Bríd!
