Explore the past at St. Brigid’s Cathedral in Kildare Town! It was founded by St. Brigid, making it Ireland’s first place where both monks and nuns lived. With its amazing looks and important history, it's a big part of the #Brigid1500 Programme. @kildarecountycouncil

The Brigid's cross is a national symbol for Ireland, as well as the shamrock and harp. The cross dates as far back as 450AD and is often made from rushes or straw. It is believed that they kept fire away from the home where they were hung. @kildarecountycouncil #Brigid1500

Brigid1500 were delighted to support 'A Little Book of Brigid'' which represents the culmination of dedicated craftsmanship by Angelina Foster and Emily Rainsford of Blueway Art Studio. The launch event on Saturday, April 13th was a great success. #Brigid1500

Do na healaíontóirí cumasacha ar fad a fhaigheann inspioráid i bhfíor gan ré Naomh Bríd, ní hamháin go dtugann do phictiúir, do dhealbha, do cheol agus d’fhocail ómós d’oidhreacht Bhríde ach cuireann siad saol nua isteach ina scéal freisin.

Did you know that St.Brigid is the patron saint of poets? But that’s not all – she’s also the patron saint of midwives, newborns, Irish nuns, fugitives, blacksmiths, dairymaids, boatmen, chicken farmers, cattle, scholars, sailors, and no doubt many more. @kildarecountycouncil
