''an abundance of peace "-fr0m St. Brigid's Prayer

February 1st is St. Brigid’s Day and all across Ireland people adhere to the old tradition of mounting a St Brigid’s cross in a place of honor in their home, to protect against fire and evil spirits.

Originally, Brighid was a Celtic hearth goddess who is still celebrated today in many parts of Europe and the British Isles. She is honored primarily at Imbolc, on February 2, and is a goddess who represents the home fires and domesticity of family life. Her perennial popularity gained her attention by the Catholic Church that worked to absorb her narrative entirely by medieval times.
