Lá Fhéile Bríde

There’s a real touch of spring with bright sunshine, and the hope of warmer days ahead. Imbolc, the celtic festival marking the first day of spring, falls on this day, as does the Christian feast day of St. Brigid. Religion classes this morning continued the tradition of making St. Brigid’s crosses. Many students added a new skill and really enjoyed the teamwork. It’s traditional to place the cross over a doorway in the home, and the new crosses wil have pride of place this evening! Thanks to Ms Doherty for the photos.

The TY classes continued their weekly visits to the Canon O’Donovan centre and today they made the crosses with the clients. It was a lovely activity that got all working away together, and chatting about memories of the tradition. Thanks to Ellen Healy for the pictures.
