Killarney

<h3>Two local&nbsp;Biddies groups&nbsp;performed at Muckross House as part of St Brigid&#8217;s Day celebrations in aid of Kerry Parents and Friends Association.</h3>
<p>The Killarney Parents and Friends Biddy Group &#8211; formerly known as the Beaufort Biddy Group &#8211;&nbsp;and Kilgobnet Biddies came together for the event.</p>
<p>The tradition of the Biddies is one of the oldest and most colourful customs in Ireland, a blend of pagan and Christian pageantry, held on February 1 each year, heralding the beginning of springtime and honouring St Br&iacute;d the patron saint of the farming community.</p>
<p>Master traditional craftsman, Pat Broderick, at Muckross House, was also part of St Brigid&#8217;s Day celebrations, making a St Brigid&#8217;s Cross as part of the traditions.</p>
