Welcome to modern day Ireland. A place where pagans removed Christmas cribs and crucifixes from our hospitals and public buildings only to replace them with images of pagan goddesses.
This is Ireland in 2022. We elected county councillors to manage our local utilities but they are now calling the shots to de-Christianise Ireland and using our taxes to pay for this paganisation.
Here’s the evidence. [Don’t forget to sign up to the new Friends of the Parish Telegram channel]
The Labour Lord Mayor of Dublin, Alison Gilliland is a driving force behind a “Brigit 2022” series of events “celebrating” the “Celtic (pagan) goddess Brigit, who she claims is associated with “creativity and wisdom” and the “traditional Gaelic (pagan) festival of Imbolc (pagan festival). This is the same Alison Gilliland (Labour) who faced a backlash on twitter last December when she called Dublin’s Christmas Lights “Winter Lights”.
These pagan events are “free” to attend but Irish taxpayers will get the bill as these “free” pagan events are sponsored (paid for) by Dublin City Council who are in turn funded by Irish workers through our taxed wages.
Despite the festival being held on Saint Brigid’s Day, 1st of February and being called Brigit 2022, the events literature never mentions Saint Brigid. this comes as no surprise to us as the events programme includes HerStory, a pagan goddess worshipping, radical feminist group who campaigned for gay marriage and child abortion.
The “Brigit 2022” event includes a concert headlined by activist Imelda May. An Irish Times article this week, quoted Imelda May on Brigit 2022;
“Brigit was an ancient goddess, our matron saint, woman of wisdom, healing and light daughter of Dagda, descendent of Danu, member of magical Tuatha Dé Danann, protector of children, saviour of poor, symbol for smiths, worshipped by poets.”
Imelda May continues;
“Inspiring descendants past and to come, her creative flame fires eternal. Adored by Ireland for thousands of years, she awakens Imbolc (pagan practice), the dawning of spring, new birth, fresh starts. It’s time to thank her. It’s time to heal. It’s about time.”
Imelda May makes no distinction whatsoever between an imaginary pagan goddess named Brigid and the real-life Christian Saint Brigid of Kildare. Her statement mixing a pagan goddess with a real life Christian Saint goes unchallenged by the Irish Times.
In the same Irish Times article written by Tom O’Brien, he writes;
“Drawing inspiration from the Celtic (pagan) goddess Brigit, from which the Christian saint originated, Brigit 2022 celebrates the contributions of Irish women through the ages, highlighting their stories and promoting their contribution to society.”
As part of their celebrations for 1st February, HerStory will be projecting images of their pagan goddess on public buildings including Trinity College, Dublin’s GPO, Newbridge Town Hall and the Barn in Leixlip. they will also be projecting their pagan images on Saint Brigid’s Anglican Cathedral in Kildare Town.
How Ireland has changed. In 2017, according to Extra.ie, Beaumont Hospital announced they were removing all Christmas Cribs from their hospital saying the Christmas cribs were not “multifaith”.
Many Public buildings, healthcare and education facilities have binned Christmas Cribs and crucifixes all over Ireland. Our Christian heritage is under attack by modern day pagans willing to twist the facts to eradicate any and all signs of Christianity.
Move over Christianity and make room for the pagan worshippers and give us part of your hard earned salary to pay for the de-Christianisation programme.
