February 3 Lighting the fires
of Healing and Hope: Brigid’s Day
given by our minister, Pam

Originally a day dedicated to
the goddess Brigid, this became St. Brigid’s
Day in Christian Ireland. In
the pagan calendar, this is the midpoint between
the winter solstice and the
spring equinox. Brigid’s Day marks the beginning
of the light half of the
year, and offers an opportunity to celebrate the
power that will bring people
from the dark season of winter into spring.
Come celebrate the returning
light!
