And the Irish gladly accepted their new Saint, and revere her to this day in place of a forgotten Celtic goddess.

Praise the Lord. Thank you for posting this. It's a lovely day, indeed, for the Irish and for my cat who is named Brigid.

Today is the Feast of St. Brigid in the Orthodox Church.
Apolytikion:

Fourth Tone

Having learned of things divine by the words of Patrick, thou hast proclaimed in the West the good tidings of Christ. Wherefore, we venerate thee, O Brigid, and entreat thee to intercede with God that our souls be saved.

Kontakion:

Third Tone

At the Church of the Oak, thou didst establish thy sacred monasteries for those that took up the Tree of life, even the Precious Cross, upon their shoulders. And by thy grace-filled life and love of learning, thou didst bear fruit a hundredfold and didst thereby nourish the faithful. O righteous Mother Brigid, intercede with Christ, the True Vine, that He save our souls.

Happy St. Brigid's day. Our little "project" is proceeding on nicely. Thank you again!

This is the St. Brigid's Cross, which the Catholic Girl Guides of Ireland use as their symbol. The younger members of the Guides are called 'Brigíní's'

Ping to honor St. Brigid. One of my favorite Saints whose feastday happens to be my birthday.
