There was a pagan chief whom Brigid visited on his deathbed. While watching over him Birgid wove a cross out of reeds from the floor and on his asking after it she explained to him her faith. She told him of the peace of prayer, the devotion to community, and the place in this world she had carved out for any who would ask. And there in his last moments he asked and she brought him into her flock. A Brat Bhríde is an Irish tradition of leaving a cloth, ribbon, shawl, scarf, or other similar item left out on the eve of Saint Brigid's day/ Imbolc then collected again before sunrise on the day. Birgid comes by in the night to bless the Brat Bhríde with healing and protection. These were all left out by me on the 1500th Saint Brigid's day since her death. You could use it to start the yearly tradition in your own home next year! Any little bits of moss or dirt are because I tied them to a tree in the rain. This Brat Bhríde is 15 inches long by 1 inch wide. The perfect size for tying to a thin tree branch.
