actually, there was no st. brigit, irish celts worshipped a god named Bhrigid, who was kind of the irish Athena/Minerva, as well as a fire and water deity. she had a thousand year old shrine, a large pyre that nineteen women called the daughters of the flame kept lit. due to the fact men were not allowed near it, when the christian church arrived, being patriarchal, they called it pagan and had it snuffed out, but Bhrigid was so popular among the natives that they intergrated her into the faith.

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.

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.

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?
