Let us know.
TODAY IS ST Brigid’s Day.
With its origins in the Celtic festival of Imbolc, St Brigid’s Day was the festival of fertility and marked the beginning of spring. You can read more about it on the National History Museum’s site here.
Typically, it’s the day Irish children make crosses from rushes and reeds to honour the feast day of St Brigid.
