St. Brigid

The 1st of February is St. Brigid's Day. This is a very tradional holiday here in Ireland so all of TY decided to get involved and celebrate St. Brigid.
My class were given the task of decorating the Prayer Room in our school. Firstly, we split up into four groups - Music, History, Art and Designers. I was part of the designers group. We had to design where everything went in the prayer room and make a list of all materials we needed to get!
We spent a few classes preparing until we finally began decorating the Prayer Room. Roisins dad made a well to go in the cornre of the room, it was so good and really made the room more peaceful!

We had a part of a tree and on it we all placed a piece of cloth with our name on it. This is called 'Brath Bhride' and in the past women would leave the cloth out on a windowsill on 31st of January and then Brigid would bless them!

I'll post pictures soon of the prayer room so you can see our creation! :)
