Ag-Lancaatw Farming, Saturday, January 27, 1996 ThTsTWeek^W 1 Festival of St. Brigit February 1 is the day of St. Brigit or St. Bride, a patron saint of Ireland. St. Brigit’s ribbon, worn around the head, is said to cure a headache. A little straw cross called St. Brigit's bow is tucked into the roof thatch to protect a house. Her day is the start of spring in Ireland, the legend being that she dipped her finger in the brook and released the hen that hatches the cold. In 18th-century Scotland, the women made Brigit’s bed on the eve of February 2, saying “Bride is here. Bride is welcome!” to ensure continued fertility. “Jhe fash a re a fair people they never speak well of one another. ” \ _ Samuel J o l lnS on rar A raw potato, added to overly aalted aoup and trailed, will reduce the salt flavor.
