Imbolc starts at dusk. Brigid walks the earth. Ribbons are left outside for her to bless. There are feasts for her and little Bride dolls -Brideogs are made. Ashes are raked smooth and examined next morning for her footprints...

Tonight is St Brigid's eve, so don't forget to leave a cloth or scarf outside to be blessed by the saint as she passes. Known as a 'Bratog Bride' in Irish folklore, this special garment was used as a cure for headaches or sore throats

The stunning art piece in Naas, themed for St Brigid. The rising and setting sun on Brigid’s Day or Imbolc light the centre piece where Brigid holds a flame. Magic to witness.

Stunning artwork by James Winnett.
