Brighid is an Irish and Celtic goddess from pre-Christian times. Her domain is the hearth, poetry (and creativity), and smithery (metalcrafting). She was absorbed into the Roman Catholic church when Ireland was converted to Christianity and became St. Brigid.
This holiday is also called Candlemas as one of the traditions is to surround an image of the goddess with a wreath of candles to warm her and coax her to awaken with the spring.
It is a time for courtship, too, as we draw near Valentine's Day where many of the traditions of love tokens and love letters start with the God courting the sleeping Goddess.
