The National Museum of Ireland is home to the world’s greatest collection of objects related to Irish history and heritage. The collection spans from prehistoric times to the present day and is on display across four museums in Dublin and Mayo. Exhibitions explore a diverse range of themes from Bronze Age gold and extinct Irish mammals to 20th century revolution and contemporary design. The main aim of the NMI is to preserve, share, explore and celebrate Ireland’s history and culture and its place in the wider world.
My thought on the shoe, it was too large and made smaller by re-working the back. That is why the quality of the work was different, the shoes were bought, then given to someone with smaller feet.
The fusion of saint and an earlier goddess is confusion. Any kid may have been given that name. Brigid the human was nothing but an ordinary woman, not any goddess. Sorry but time to face it. She was among the Christian saints, born in a place with faults and weakness like us all. Obviously, the truth: she's not a BIZARRE hybrid, not a very odd minestrone beyond solid reality, either she was a human or she was not... if you think anyone is wandering round now who was once a divinity, i think you need a good shake ! i also think that's extremely vain, against scientific truth, common sense and conventional theological revelation as tested by the greatest minds. If you choose to be a gnostic, then create your own stories, but don't steal this ordinary woman, who with God's merciful grace made her a saint like other saints who were subject to ordinary limits and mortality and weaknesses, etc.
The shamrock was used the explain the Holy Trinity is three persons in one God not, as the video erroneously suggests, "three gods in one." That is precisely the error St. Patrick was trying to correct.
I have some very rare quartz that I found deep in the forest. Some of these weigh as much as 70lbs. Clear orange gold tint and clear. Not milky at all. Please let me know if you're interested in looking at these. Thanks!!!
Thanks for letting us know, do send photos of your finds to marketing(at)museum.ie, let us know where about you found them and include a ruler in the photos as this will let the curators assess relative size.

Burning is actually the only way for Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians to respectfully dispose of holy objects other than burying them. The crosses made on Palm Sunday are often burned to make the blessed ashes for Ash Wednesday, so the burning of old Saint Bridget Crosses would not be a piece of evidence for rival parallel folk ways to Christianity in Ireland.
This is so thorough and well presented, including, most importantly the ancient traditions of the Goddess Brigid that have survived through the devotions to St Brigid on Imbolc. Thank you!!
THat was great. WHat a great presentation of culture. Our culture is getting buried under all the revisionists and race haters world wide. Love your people. Take Pride in your history. Celebrate your Ancestors. Dont allow the envy of others make you walk in shame nor quiet your celebrations of race and culture. Love yourself and yours.....
Holy St Brigid, Catholic Saint, brought the Gospel to the pagan Irish and was a major force, through charity, in spreading Christianity throughout Ireland. St Brigid of Kildare, pray for us.
I have had a vision of her. She is quite real and healed me. Long white hair. And she wears a white gown with a vanilla colored tunic over it. She appeared with a chalice. I would love to tell you more of her.
Between 1947 and 2022 there was marine research carried out but just not on custom built vessels. See here for more information: www.marine.ie/site-area/areas-activity/fisheries-ecosystems/interactive-marine-archive/vessels
If you have any questions about the R.V. Tom Crean this is a treasure trove of information www.marine.ie/site-area/infrastructure-facilities/research-vessels/tom-crean
How did they preserve the original turnip? Can I just dry out a carved turnip and it will last this long? I want to try, does anyone know? Online it said they last 3 days

Thank you very much for sharing, I've overlooked the online part. Thanks for the meeting and thanks to professor O'Sullivan for systematic research of the early medieval material culture. ❤
