Saint Brigid, with staring eyes and unimpressed mien, looks out from a sainted glass window. She's clad in blue, with a lamp in one hand and her name spelled around her head. The window is by Irish artist Harry Clarke, one of the greatest workers in stained glass in history.

A much less impressed Saint Brigid for #SaintBrigidsDay: Harry Clarke's version in stained glass, at the chapel at Castletownshend, Ireland.

She may be bringing spring, but she doesn't WANT to.

A poster produced by Winnifred M. Letts and Kathleen Verschoyle for the Cuala Press in the 1920s, featuring Saint Brigid in a wide blue cloak, holding one lamb and opening her cloak for two more. The poem is not particularly good. The lambs, as lambs do, look incredibly confused.

Happy #SaintBrigidsDay & #Imbolc!

This poster print was commissioned in the 1920s by Cuala Press, an all-female Irish arts & crafts cooperative, from artist Kathleen Verschoyle and poet Winnifred M. Letts. No comment on 'little furry folk'.
