Brighid is a goddess from Celtic mythology, particularly revered in Irish traditions. She is associated with fire, fertility, healing, and poetry, symbolizing the creative and nurturing aspects of life. Brighid is often celebrated during the festival of Imbolc, which marks the beginning of spring. In addition to her divine attributes, Brighid is also linked to the Brigid's Cross, a traditional symbol made from rushes, representing protection and blessings for homes. Over time, she has been integrated into Christian traditions, where she is often identified with Saint Brigid, reflecting her enduring significance in Irish culture.
