Celebrating Celtic tradition and St. Brigid in Galway on the third year of Ireland's new Bank Holiday.

Happy Saint Brigid's Day! 🌱 Welcome Spring! 🌱

Saint Brigid of Kildare (c. 451–525 AD) is one of Ireland’s most revered saints, second only to Saint Patrick.

Many legends surround Brigid, including her ability to multiply food, & heal the sick.
