Cérbh í Naomh Bríd? Bean a bhí an-tábhachtach i saol na hÉireann ba ea Naomh Bríd, is cuma Bríd na Págánachta nó Bríd na Críostaíochta atá i gceist.

Deir roinnt scoláirí gur pearsa stairiúil a bhí inti a mhair sa chúigiú haois agus tá tuairiscí á scríobh fúithi ón seachtú haois ar aghaidh.

Brigid: Origins of the Goddess Brigid is famously known as both Christian Saint and Pagan Goddess, but what does the medieval literature have to say about her Goddess form?

Brigid is reputed as being the inventor of “caointeoireacht”, the Irish art of “keening” or lamenting, which was a popular tradition until reasonably recent times.
