St. Brigid's Day, February 1, is when Ireland remembers the Celtic goddess Brigid and her immense power in both the Irish mythological and religious imagination. Subscribe to IrishCentralThe meaning behind St. Brigid's CrossThe Irish tradition of making crosses on Imbolc or Lá Fhéile Bhríde (St. Brigid's Day) is remembered by most Irish people as a Christian ritual. St. Brigid is said to have invented the cross herself while attending a sickbed and picking up rushes from the floor to craft them into a sacred cross. The weaving of a St. Brigid's Cross is a special part of Irish culture, last year it was recognised as part of our living cultural heritage. pic.twitter.com/vhhLiaMv7U — Tourism-Culture-Arts-Gaeltacht-Sport-Media (@DeptCultureIRL) January 29, 2025Do you or your family mark St. Brigid's Day?
