Happy St Bridget's Day!

Beannachtaí Lá Fhéile Bríde!
Happy Imbolc!
Today is the first (unofficial) day of Spring in Ireland. The grand ol' stretch in the day has reached one hour.
Tonight my old St. Bridget's cross will go into the fire and be replaced with a new one.
May your house be protected from fire, your animals be safe, your butter store replenished and your apple trees bear plenty to share with neighbours.

An artwork showing a rectangular wooden egg holder that I bought decades ago at a flea market. It is mounted on a wall and filled with 12 of my hens' brown eggs. On top of it sits a small St. Bridget's cross woven from rushes. Above that is a little cast-iron key hook ornamented with a chicken.

Lá Fhéile Bríd Shona Daoibh!
Imbolc Faoi Mhaise Daoibh!

This morning I took out my Bridget’s cross, my gorgeous @Ciaraioch drawing of the goddess / saint (https://www.ciaraioch.com/artprints/p/brigid-a4-fine-art-print), lit a candle, and at dawn went out barefoot and washed my face in the morning dew. My own little non specific ritual to mark the start of spring in Ireland.
