Imbolc: Ode to Brigid

A song of Brigid, goddess and saint, whose 'festival of the little lights' at Imbolc (2nd February) celebrates the birth of spring. She was once honoured, as the song says, “ not just in Ireland, but in many countries ... a shining lantern, a flame throughout the land ... winter is hard and dark, but once Brigid's day comes, spring cannot be far behind“ Sung by Blanche Rowen, learned from the singing of Noirin ni Riain It's on our album The Dance Goes On - see for more info and song
