Offering

As we've got St Brigid to thank for our new bank holiday, I thought I'd visit her birthplace at Faughart.
There's the ruins of a medieval church, a holy well and a prayer tree where people leave offerings including medals, rosary beads, pieces of clothing and cards

My great grandmother who was born in Ireland was named Bridget. I need to read more about her.

I'm guessing that either (a) you changed your mind about using your original image for today, which was what looked like a graveyard with lots of broken stones, or (b) St Brigid transformed the image after you posted it. It's a miracle!

Nice to hear that she's so honored, and nice of her to get you your new bank holiday!
