1 Feb 1620: David Rothe, bishop of #Ossory delivers a huge sermon in praise of St. Brigid at the #Irish College #Paris #otd He spoke, at length, of centuries of Franco-Irish links. It was published by Cramoisy of Rue St Jacques. #LaFheileBride #StBrigidsDay
Many of St. Brigid’s miracles are associated with dairy products & with ale. She’s sometimes depicted with a milk cow.
Happy name day to all you Bríds, Bridgets, Brigids, Breedas today.

Just how large was Brat Bhríde? According to tradition, when St Brigid cast her mantle to be gifted the land it covered, it stretched from Dún Ailinne to Cill Dara to the Hill of Allen and to the mound at Naas.
That was 125 square kilometers.

and besides the pointed use of Brigit with a t - it's also somewhat bizarre to get hung up on calling it a 'festival' - given it is events running across days with public engagement /parade around a singular theme @brigitdublin.bsky.social #LaFheileBride #Imbolc
