An Irish tradition on 26 December, St. Stephen’s Day is The Wren. Groups of people known as ‘Wren Boys’ go house to house singing, dancing & playing music for the household often collecting money for a local charity. In some parts of the country, they wear straw hats.

Today marks St. Brigid's Day (Lá Fhéile Bríde), which is seen as a way to celebrate women & the Celtic goddess’s heritage as a “symbol of feminine energy”. Today celebrates the arrival of longer, warmer days, and an emergence from the darkness of winter into spring. ToBeIrish

Half way to Christmas! At the end of our Northern adventure we called into Santa Visit Rovaniemi & said thank you for his messages to the kids of #Ireland in 2020. Santa replied with a 'go raibh maith agat'. Enjoy the summer Santa! ToBeIrish Irish Foreign Ministry
