Feast Day Of Saint Brigid - Imbolc


This interesting corn effigy is a little bit of a take on the traditional 'Breed's Bed theme', as well as all ceremonies requiring a doll, was later put outside with a cake which was made and iced specially for Imbolc. They were placed under a Hawthorne Tree on the local green around 4.30am in the morning as an acknowledgement of Imbolc which is known as Candlemas to Christians.
