Lá Fhéile Bríde 💚 (Brigid’s Day) is celebrated in Ireland on February 1st, marking the beginning of spring, the Celtic festival of Imbolc, and the saint’s feast day. It signifies renewal, hope, and longer days.
Rushes or straw are woven into distinctive crosses and hung in homes, particularly over doorways, to protect against fire and evil.
It represents the end of winter, the start of the “golden half” of the year, and a time of agricultural renewal.
The day is deeply rooted in Irish culture, focusing on themes of light, fertility, and the arrival of spring.
Brigid’s Cross - hand woven with white stoneware clay and finished with oxides and gloss glaze.
Wishing all my family and friends in Ireland a very happy Brigid’s Day/Imbolc. 💚
