130+ yr old #StBrigid #Catholic school in high income area of #SanFrancisco shutting without warning. #SF Arch Diocese was among the first #California dioceses to seek #bankruptcy protection after sex coverup #settlements and legal costs from multiple abuse victim cases, soon followed by regional #NorCal clergy officials in Santa Rosa, Oakland and Sacramento.
The school’s closure comes as SF #ArchDiocese reaches $395m settlement with some 500 abuse victims, just weeks after #RomanCatholic Diocese of #Oakland announced it would shutter 13 #EastBay parishes, blaming financial ruin from hundreds of child #SexAbuse lawsuits against its own #Priests.

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.

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.
Consider the number seven as a mythological entity:

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!

Open call for artists and musicians to create art and music inspired by #StBrigid for the #Herstory Light Shows on 31st Jan & 1st Feb 2024.
This year’s theme is the Old Irish saying: "There’s room for everyone under Brigid’s cloak.”
In these divisive times, St. Brigid calls us to remember our true humanity, bringing a message of inclusion, harmony, and healing.

For the day that's in it, perhaps my best/worst poem ever, written when I was about ten years old: #StBrigid

Happy #BeerShirtFriday to all who celebrate. This week, Naughty Hildegard ESB from Driftwood Brewery in Victoria, BC, Canada. Couldn’t find any Brigid-themed merch from local Irish brewers for the Bank Holiday…next time?
