towards St Brigid's Day (2) - "The cross is crossed with a shorter stick giving four other little dolls - which was called a "breeda" carried around in their arms from the house and asked for a household to get a portion of householder. Sometimes a dance was indulged in, and as a token, they put a mask on his face." #StBrigid #StBrigidsDay #folklore #IrishFolklore #poetry #writing #LáFéileBríde
