Honoring an old tradition with new materials. 🌿✂️

St. Brigid's Cross is one of Ireland's oldest symbols — traditionally woven from rushes on February 1st to mark Imbolc and welcome in the light of spring. I made mine from paper, and honestly? The folding is almost meditative.

Four steps. Two hands. One very ancient symbol.

Have you ever made one? 👇

Ireland has two patron saints — one of whom we talk about much more than the other. Here's @TheConversationUS's story about St. Brigid, who shares her feast day, Feb. 1, with the start of spring.

St Brigid's Day/Imbolc: St Brigid was more connected to the LGBTQ+ community than many may think.

The weather forecast for today was great, so we visited Inchydoney Beach this afternoon. While it looks like the beach isn’t busy, cars were parked all the way from the hotel down to the public car park at the other end of the beach. It would be easy to think it was the middle of the summer, as there were so many vehicles!

Yesterday was St. Brigid’s Day in Ireland, so it was nice to see St. Brigid’s Cross drawn on the sand, but I’d forgotten about IMBOLC. You can read more about it on Wikipedia.

On this clear St Brigid's day — at the outset of this Year of the Wood Snake — the January installment of Polylith arrives.

An excellent piece on the history of the 'other' Irish saint, Brigid, whose life is commemorated on February 1 each year.

Its #StBridgets day eve, so annual reminder to put out the Bratóg Bride overnight. This is a piece of cloth/ scarf or ribbon that is blessed by St Brigid when passing. Bratóg helps wearers with headaches/sore throats throughout the year. Ours is out with lots of pegs today!
