🔗 St Brigid’s Day - a weaving tradition of Celtic rituals, Christian faith and enduring folk customs

With its origins in the Celtic fertility festival of Imbolc(giving birth), St Brigid’s Day on February 1 signals the beginning of spring and an end to the darkness of winter, ushering in a new season of hope and growth on the land and the birth of animals on the farm and in the wild.

A scene depicting various traditional symbols: a woven straw cross lies on a snowy surface next to a lit white candle. Nearby, a small lamb figurine and a doll made of straw are positioned together. Snowdrop flowers are arranged at the bottom right corner, adding a touch of greenery to the wintry setting.
