Lá Fhéile Bríde

Jane Quinn • February 1, 2026

St. Brigid's Day (Lá Fhéile Bríde), celebrated on February 1st, marks the beginning of spring in Ireland and the traditional festival of Imbolc. As a public holiday in Ireland, it celebrates the patron saint of livestock, babies, and poets, as well as the Celtic goddess of fire and healing, typically observed by weaving Brigid's crosses from reeds to protect the home.
