The Irish government recently declared a national holiday for St. Brigid. A medieval historian explains her fascinating life and history.

St Brigid's Day/Imbolc: St Brigid was more connected to the LGBTQ+ community than many may think.

German: Anmerkung für meine deutschen Leser. Das Brigids Cross hat keine Verbindung zum Hakenkreuz und ist in Irland ein fester religiöser Bestandteil.
