Only learnt about it last year, when Timmy came home from school singing " Sing a song for Brigid, Brigid brings the spring" it was so sweet!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08664045557725853106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475675772650336352.post-11650900094647435952012-02-01T18:55:45.927-08:002012-02-01T18:55:45.927-08:00I love this! Thanks for sharing your Brigit's...I love this! Thanks for sharing your Brigit's day activities. This is definitely one of my favorite days, though I have been trying to think of ways to celebrate it with the kids, so thanks for the ideas. I made St. Brigit's crosses last year but it kind of took me a while to figure out ;) so maybe we can do the mantle story and the sheet...wonderful.Mama Forestdwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10977798119706703507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475675772650336352.post-72393784692779760902012-02-01T10:37:54.837-08:002012-02-01T10:37:54.837-08:00St Bridget came to my village in the 12th century ...St Bridget came to my village in the 12th century (at least I think I have that right) and thus our church was built and the village apptley named after her St. Brides Major.<br />We celebrated today in the local school, wearing green to represent Ireland and in traditional welsh way, the children sang and played music. They sang about the saints and about Jesus and read stories about St. bridget and reminded ourselves what an amazing saint she was and where she came from.<br />It was supported by the parents and the elders of the village and we all tucked into tea and hot drinks afterwards. Truley lovely. :)llinosdesignshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312353500092862867noreply@blogger.com
