St Brigid's Eve

Tomorrow is St Brigid's Day, or Imbolc if you prefer.

On St Brigid's Eve there's a tradition that you should leave a piece of cloth outside overnightto be blessed by the saint as she passes. This is known as Bratog Bride in Irish folklore. The piece of cloth, thus blesssed, can then be used to cure headaches and sore throats.

I wonder if it works for Covid?
