Celebrating International Women's Day with Tracey Ryan
The Friends of Ireland The Tara Trust wish all of New Zealand a Happy Waitangi Day
Finishing our celebration of St Brigid's Day. We finish celebrating St Brigid's Day with our last exceptional woman. Thank you to all the women who kindly allowed us to profile them and their achievements in NZ. In collaboration with IBNNZ, St Patrick's Festival NZ, Embassy of Ireland New Zealand, and Mná na hÉireann we will be celebrating exceptional women in NZ. Brigid is the patron saint of poets. But that’s not all – she’s also the patron saint of midwives, newborns, Irish nuns, fugitives, blacksmiths, dairymaids, boatmen, chicken farmers, cattle, scholars, sailors, and no doubt many more. She is also, along with Patrick and Columcille, one of the three patron saints of Ireland. 1st of February - also marks the first day of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere.
