I had been trying for some time to find a Brigid's Cross knitting pattern, and finally designed my own. It needs work, but I think you can tell what it's supposed to be #Celtic #irish #pagan #brigidscross #knitting #religion #spiritualart #goddessbrigid #saintbrigid

Imbolc. St Brigid's Day. 1st of February.

Imbolc is recorded in early medieval Irish sources and was also historically celebrated in Scotland and the Isle of Man. It's generally believed that the origin is older, pre-Christian, and the date is important to many modern pagans as the start of spring. It's also the feast day of St Brigid, mother saint of Ireland, and traditions included the weaving of Brigid's Crosses from rushes. Many believe that Brigid is a Christianised version of a pre-Christian goddess, although she is also recorded as a real historic figure who founded the Abbey of Kildare. It may be that two figures have been conflated.

Imbolc is not recorded as ever being celebrated here in Northumberland, but the reasons for celebrating it as an agricultural festival would have been just as important here. The season for sowing, the start of the lambing, the return of the light, and the promise of warmer, less lean days to come.
