## Caption

St. Brigid’s Day, often referred to by its pre-Christian name Imbolc, heralds the start of spring here in Ireland. 

From medieval times through to the 1930s and 40s, in song, poetry and visual art, there are a number of creative representations of St. Brigid showcased in the digital collections of our library. These archival images offer us a picture of how the historical celebration of Brigid as both a pagan goddess and as a Christian saint, have informed how we see her today. 

View these collections and read more about the ongoing research projects that make up the Virtual Library of Trinity College Dublin, at the link in our bio!
