🌿🌤️ St Brigid’s Day greetings from The Fern Dean 🌤️🌿
St Brigid’s Day, celebrated each year on 1st February, marks a meaningful turning point in the Irish year, when winter begins to loosen its grip and the first signs of spring appear. St Brigid has long been associated with light, protection, generosity and care for others, values that have been passed down through Irish homes and communities for centuries.💛
The day is traditionally linked to Imbolc, an ancient celebration of renewal and new beginnings. Customs such as weaving St Brigid’s crosses from rushes and welcoming light into the home were ways of expressing hope for health, safety and wellbeing in the year ahead.💛
At The Fern Dean, we are proud to honour these traditions and the sense of continuity they bring. We wish our residents, families and wider community a peaceful St Brigid’s Day and a gentle start to spring.🙏
