Lá Fhéile Bríde Shona Daoibh!!

A watercolour painting of a person dressed in Biddy costume (white clothing, ornate straw headpiece, red sashes) holding a straw Brídeóg doll, against a background of colourful Irish spring-blooming wildflowers.

The Biddy is an Irish folk tradition linked to Brigid’s Day and Imbolc, where groups wear white and handmade straw headpieces to travel around playing music while carrying a Brídeóg (a model Brigid in child form), warding off evil and bringing luck. It's still strong in parts of Kerry.

How Ireland used to celebrate St Brigid's Day in the past From the Biddy boys and Brat Bríde to holy wells and Brigid's crosses, February 1st was marked with great gusto in old Ireland

St Brigid’s Eve - Don't forget to leave a piece of cloth outside to be blessed by Brigid as she passes tonight! This is the brat Bríde, it’ll cure headaches or sore throats and keep you healthy for the year! #speirgorm #brigidsday #stbrigid www.rte.ie/brainstorm/2...

Fairytales

A vintage-looking illustrated fake advertisement for the fictional law firm Wexler McGill from the series, Better Call Saul. The characters of Kim Wexler and Jimmy McGill are reimagined as cartoon animals. Kim is a silver and white wolf, and Jimmy is an orange, striped tabby. Kim is sitting in an orange office chair, talking with Jimmy who is sat on the desk beside her. In the background is a rainbow, similar to the one painted on their office wall in the show. The text at the top reads, "Nothing is too small to fight for." Below the text is the logo for their law firm. The text at the very bottom of the advertisement is the address for the law firm in the show. End description.
