#St. Stephen&039;s Day

[stairnaheireann]

Wren Day, also known as Wren's Day or the Day of the Wren (Lá an Dreoilín), celebrated on St Stephen's Day.

The tradition is very much on the wane now but in some few localities Wrenboys still go out in Ireland on St. Stephens Day. The central theme of the wrenboy visit is the wren, an effigy of which is carried about in a holly branch or in a box or cage. Previously it was hunted and killed prior to St. Stephen’s Day and a matter of honour for groups to have a real bird. Why, of all birds, is the…

Journal of Holiday Greeting Studies, Boxing Day Edition

On Christmas Day, we went out to a spot on the other side of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge to check out the bird life on a trail around a tidal marsh and channel. There was lots to see — mostly waterfowl and shore birds with the odd raptor and corvid thrown into the mix. We encountered many two-legged mammals, too. Generally speaking, when I find myself passing someone else on a trail, I make it…

The Twelve Days of Christmas explained!

The Twelve Days of Christmas explained in depth from Christmas Day to Twelfth Night and what each day signified in the medieval period

This year, I think we all need to celebrate Christmas that little bit harder. Because there’s a tough 2023 ahead of us. So, why don’t we plan for a medieval Christmas? And why is that so much better than the modern version? Well, for a start, you get twelve days of fun instead of just one measly day of celebration. In this post, I’m going to explain the medieval Twelve Days of Christmas? What…

A VISIT TO THE PRIORY OF ST JOHN THE BAPTIST IN TRIM COUNTY MEATH

https://videos.files.wordpress.com/peYVDEU3/the-priory-of-st-john-the-baptist.mp4

THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS 2023 This Christmas I spent three days in Trim County Meath and it rained most of the time. On Wednesday the 27th it was so wet and stormy that it was impossible to take any photographs so I returned to Dublin ahead of schedule. As my Canon 5DIII performs very well in wet weather I decided to bring it with me instead of me rather than my Sony A7RIV or FX30. Another…

On the Feast of Stephen

This was my last post for the Diocesan.com Inspire Daily feature of the MyParish app.  I appreciated the opportunity but ultimately had to cut back on some commitments because life is hard, y’all.  You can find all my Inspire Daily posts here. Yesterday was a joyful day of celebrating the birth of our Savior. Today the Church opens a window into a bleaker future of the persecution and martyrdom…

Chimney Sweeps, Assigned Nipples, and St. Stephen's Day

Chimney Sweeps, Assigned Nipples, and St. Stephen’s Day

I have a neighbor, Mike, who is closing in on 90 years of age. He was born in Ireland and emigrated to the U.S. when he was a young man.

One thing that I discovered during my visits to him is that he’s very secretive about his age. Naturally, I became determined to figure out how old he is. It’s just human nature. Anytime someone tries to hide his or her age, deducing it becomes imperative for…

Christmas in Ireland

The greeting for ‘Happy Christmas’ in Irish is Nollaig Shona Duit or Nollaig Shona Daoibh (plural), the literal translation of this is ‘Happy Christmas to you’. If ‘Nollaig, Shona, Duit/Daoibh’ was literally translated, word for word, into English, it would be “Christmas, happy, to you”. Christmas is also a time for remembering the dead in Ireland with prayers being offered for deceased at…

Greened Buildings at St Stephen's Green, Dublin.

Greened Buildings at St Stephen’s Green, Dublin.

It’s become a ritual in Dublin to bathe famous buildings and bridges in green light for St Patrick’s Day.

Last night, I made a big walk around the City Centre to capture the atmosphere.

At St. Stephen’s Green, I photographed a LUAS Green Line tram paused for passengers adjacent to the Royal College of Surgeons.
