Many significant gold objects of the Bronze Age are in @nmireland.bsky.social because of 19th century collectors whose private collections form the core of national museums. One was Dean Henry Dawson who acquired a LBA gorget from Borrisnoe, Co. Tipperary in 1836. One of only nine to survive.

I will never stop believing that St. Brigid is a result of the Catholic Church adding a veneer of Christianity to the much older and beloved Brigid of Celtic lore. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigid

Brigid or Bridget was both a Celtic goddess & one of the patron saints of Ireland. The Christian church appropriated Brigid, & in the Middle Ages her Christian successor actually had religious tending her sacred flame! Here’s an example of that pagan/Christian tradition.
