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
