Tonight is St Brigid’s eve so don’t forget to leave a cloth or scarf outside to be blessed by the saint as she passes. Known as a ‘Bratog Bride’ in Irish folklore, this special garment can then be used as a cure for headaches or sore throats #folklore #Ireland #StBrigidsDay pic.twitter.com/KnZTtfmpaa

Broadsheet fact check: Mostly True.
Fight!
Happy St Brigid’s Day Eve, Christians.
Happy Brigit’s Day Eve, Pagans.
Happy February Eve, others.
Not you, Satanists.
Meanwhile…
I stand corrected. It’s a festival inspired by the Celtic goddess Brigit not St Brigid. https://t.co/wZqYKdrzXe

…are you pregnant again Janet?
haha god no,
That’s lovely J.
might leave a few pairs of jox out
…just to clarify,
it’ll be brigid and not jesus doing the laying on of hands in this instance. :-)
Random woo
In seeking a cure for sore throats
It’s headscarves that Brigid denotes
No rigid auld jocks,
Nor stiff smelly socks
Crudely “blessed” with the essence of scrote
I’d take a satanist over an anti vaxxer or the I Onanist institute any day.
