The Portuguese sent back a fragment of the skull to Ireland already, in the 1920's, once it was safe.
And if you'll read saint legends from Ireland, you'll notice that relics tend to move around where the saint wants them. Obviously she wanted her skull to be in Portugal, where there were a lot of sheep and people to take care of.
I think they should return the skull to Ireland. If they want a relic of Saint Brighid, take a finger bone. The Head was very prominent in Celtic Society, therefore the Head of the Mary of Gael should be returned to Ireland.
ps: remember! before the Edict Of Nante, i believe 5th century?, the Irish Church was semi pagan! and this has remained even though officially the Irish Church is under Vatican domination. this is why Halloween remains! and the Beltain summer festival. etc. St.Padraigh used his brains!! he is loved dearly even today among Pagan/Christians. because he didnt crack the theological whip! like Charlemaigne did! that butcher!
since the time of St.Padraigh, the Goddess Bridgid has been connected to Saint Brigid! i bet theres a festival for Saint Brigid just before full spring arrives. there is for Goddess Brigid. the festival is (Imbolc). just before Ostara-Easter.

this is a complete abomination, its witchcraft. if you people were christians you would know we are not to pray to the deceased. we get to GOD through his SON not some dead person.
My Portugues is not so good, so I only heard the translation which said 'animals brought' (orginal text is from 01:35, I think), so perhaps it is not happening anymore. If it happended, perhaps on Feb 1st?

In what date is the blessing of the animals here? Does it still take place?
As for the main topic, we should have the Irish Embassy near here, it would make a lot of sense...
I love mysteries, especially of this kind.

According to her biographers her parents were Dubhthach, a pagan chieftain of Leinster, and Brocca, a Christian Pict from Scotland :)
