"In Kerry, as in many other parts of Ireland, the eve of St Brigid’s Day was just as important as the day itself. ‘Biddy Boys’ went from house to house with an effigy of the saint, a doll made from old rags or a butter churn dressed up. They would mask their faces with pieces of cloth, using straw or rush hats to keep the veils on."
