Yesterday was Pancake Tuesday/Shrove Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. Traditionally, Christians would go to confession to admit their sins before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. After confession, people would go home and make pancakes and enjoy a feast before Lent. On Ash Wednesday, Christians attend a special Mass where they admit their sins and ask God for forgiveness. During the Mass, a priest places ashes in the shape of a cross on their foreheads as a symbol of sorrow for wrongdoings and of their love for Jesus Christ. Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, during which Christians give up pleasures for 40 days until Easter Sunday.

1. Naomh Bríd
Is duine d’éarlaimh na hÉireann í Naomh
Bríd. Tá a féile ar 1 Feabhra, an chéad lá
den Earrach.
2. Naomh Bríd
A hÓige
Rugadh Naomh Bríd i
bhFochaird, in aice le Dún Dealgan,
Contae Lú. Ba í Broicseach a máthair
agus ba é Dubhtach a hathair; ba
thaoiseach é. D’oibrigh Bríd ar an
bhfeirm le linn a hóige, ag tabhairt
aire do na caoirigh agus ag tabhairt
bia dos na hainmhithe.
3. Grá do na Bochtáin
Fiú nuair a bhí sí ina leanbh,
bhí grá mór ag Bríd do na
bochtáin. Nuair a fuair sí
rud éigin thug sí uaithi é.
Nuair a chuir a máthair
amach í chun im a bhailiú,
thug sí uaithi an t-im.
4. Thug athair Bhríde cuairt
ar Rí Laighean. D’fhág sé
Bríd sa charbad chun aire a
thabhairt dá chlaíomh. Bhí
bochtán ag dul thar bráid
agus d’iarr sé cabhair ar
Bhríd. Ní raibh ag Bríd ach
claíomh luachmhar a hathar,
agus thug sí sin dó. Bhí
Dubhtach ar buile nuair a
fuair sé amach cad a rinne
Bríd.
5. Bríd an Bhean Rialta
Nuair a bhí sí óg shocraigh Bríd
go mbeadh sí ina bean rialta.
Thaistil sí ar fud na hÉireann ag
tógáil clochard. Chuaigh Bríd
chuig Rí Laighean agus d’iarr sí
roinnt talún air chun clochar a
thógáil. Níor mhian leis an rí aon
talamh a thabhairt di. Ach d’inis
sé di a clóca a chur ar an
dtalamh agus gheall sé fad agus
leithéad na talún faoina clóca di.
6. Nuair a chuir Bríd a
clóca ar an dtalamh
d’fhás sé, agus
d’fhás sé, go dtí go
raibh réimse mór
clúdaithe aige. Bhain
sin an anáil as an Rí
ach choinnigh sé a
fhocal.
7. Bhunaigh sí a céad
chlochar ar an talamh
sin. Bhí crann mór
darach sa áit agus
tháinig an t-ainm Cill
Dara (Eaglais an
Chrainn Daraigh) as
sin. Tá an t-ainm
céanna ar an áit anois.
8. Cros Bhríde
Bhí taoiseach págánach ag fáil
bháis agus thug Bríd cuairt air.
Shuigh sí le taobh a lea agus
ghuigh sí. Thóg sí roinnt luachra
den urlár agus rinne sí cros astu.
D’oscail an Taoiseach a shúile agus
d’iarr sé cad a bhí sí á dhéanamh.
D’inis Bríd scéal Chríost dó –
conas a fuair sé bás ar an gcros.
D’iompaigh an Taoiseach ina
Chríostaí sula bhfuair sé bás.
9. Ceapann siad go
bhfuair Naomh Bríd
bás ar an 1 Feabhra
525. Deir siad gur thóg
siad a corp as Cill Dara
go Dún Phádraig níos
déanaí agus gur chuir
siad í le hais Naomh
Pádraig, atá ina
éarlamh ar Éirinn,
cosúil le Bríd.
10. Bhí an chros an-tábhachtach do Bhríd. Tá
cros áirithe ainmnithe ina diadh- Cros
Bhríde. Is siombail choitianta in Éirinn í sin.
11. Roghnaigh an scéal is fearr leat agus
tarraing pictúir nó dein dráma as.
Scríobh an comhrá idir Bríd agus an
bochtán. Inis conas a mhínigh sí dá
hathair cén fáth a raibh an chlaíomh
ar iarraidh
