    Interesting the use of St. Bridgets cross as St. Bridget was probaly a Christian representation of a Celtic goddess.

    These traditions probably go back to pagan times.

    I've another interesting one for you - my flatmate's from Haiti, where Brigid is a feature of Voodoo, with a lot of the same associations as in Ireland.

    So she's made herself a feature of at least three quite distinct religions largely intact.

    The relationship between old ira and church of Ireland people especially poorer members of church of Ireland landowners wouldn't surprise a few historians.

    Kind of a cure. Cobwebs were put on skulled cattle to stop excessive bleeding.

    I would read a good bit about the war of independence and have seen a good bit of similar stories.
