Saint Brigid Euro Note

In Ireland, February 1st marks the beginning of spring and the celebration of Lá Fhéile Bríde, St Brigid’s Day. Since 2018, Irish Embassies and Consulates worldwide have been marking the day by celebrating women’s creativity through a broad program of events. From Wellington to Warsaw, Sydney to Santiago, London to Lisbon, Ireland’s diplomatic network, in partnership with local communities is celebrating the remarkable contribution women have made – and continue to make – across the world.

This year, Saint Brigid was honored once more with her own national holiday.  The year also marks a very special anniversary for the “mother saint” of Ireland: the 1500 anniversary of the year of her passing. To commemorate these events, this new Saint Brigid Commemorative 0 Euro note was released earlier this year, in time to mark the many celebrations on Saint Brigid’s Day.
