The Coming of Bride - John Duncan, 1917
brighid and the feasts of imbolc
"Brighid provides an image of empowerment, integrity, courage, and complexity. She was pagan and Christian, rich and poor, slave and free. She invites us, therefore, to focus on what we have in common, rather than on what divides us." ~ Mary Condren
I have asked each of you to take part in a simple act of sharing and healing across cultures and faiths. To deepen your understanding of Brighid -- Brigit, Bride -- and the Gaelic feasts, feasts which continue today, listen to this conversation with Mary Condren, a leading voice for Brighid today, on CBCs Tapestry with Mary Hynes. Please be patient, as this link can sometimes be wonky. Let me know if it is broken. There is a Listen To This Episode link on this CBC page.
