The Biddy is a folk tradition associated particularly with Mid-Kerry and linked to Brigid’s Day and Imbolc, where groups wear ornate, handmade straw headpieces and travel around houses and pubs playing music while carrying a Brídeóg (a model Brigid in child form) to ward off evil and bring good luck to people and animals.

(Inspired by the prompt "Spring" for this week's #ArtClubIE challenge.)
