30 Jan 2022  NATIONAL MUSEUM OF IRELAND - DECORATIVE ARTS & HISTORY


To celebrate #StBrigidsDay, the National Museum of Ireland, Decorative Arts & History, Collins Barracks, invited historian Dr. Marion McGarry to speak as part of their Culture Club Programme, co-ordinated with the Dublin City Council Culture Company. We are delighted to share this pre-recorded talk, which examines some of the traditions and folk rituals around St. Brigid’s Day in Ireland. 

Dr. McGarry is a lecturer at the Galway Mayo Institute of Technology and author of “Irish Customs and Rituals: How Our Ancestors Celebrated Life and the Seasons”
