Apple tree Brat Bhríde

Product Details

Two women once gave Brigid a basket of apples, and both times she instantly began distributing them to the hungry. The first woman however berated Brigid for this saying she wanted Brigid to have the apples, not just any hungry person. That woman's orchard never bore another fruit. The second woman upon seeing Brigid distribute the apple brought her more apples to give to even more people. That woman's orchard flourished with the tree she had picked those apples from being the most bountiful.

A Brat Bhríde is an Irish tradition of leaving a cloth, ribbon, shawl, scarf, or other similar item left out on the eve of Saint Brigid's day/ Imbolc then collected again before sunrise on the day. Birgid comes by in the night to bless the Brat Bhríde with healing and protection. These were all left out by me on the 1500th Saint Brigid's day since her death. You could use it to start the yearly tradition in your own home next year! Any little bits of moss or dirt are because I tied them to a tree in the rain.

These Brat Bhríde are 15 inches long by 0.75 inches wide. The perfect size for tying to a thin tree branch.

Hand woven with wool and wool blend yarn sourced from a repurposed art supply store
