<p>St. Brigid is a symbol of strength, creativity, compassion, and renewal—qualities that resonate deeply with the spirit of Galway’s Westend.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In celebration of this powerful figure, Galway’s Westend invites all businesses in the neighbourhood to participate by creating window displays that reflect the theme, 'St. Brigid in All Her Power and Glory.'</p>
<p>To inspire your creations, the West End Art Collective’s Elena Dova has crafted a stunning piece that captures the essence of St. Brigid.</p>
<p>”We encourage all local businesses to interpret this theme in their own unique ways, from highlighting her qualities to incorporating symbols such as St. Brigid’s Cross or references to her patronage of the arts, healing, and agriculture,” said a spokesperson for the Westend.</p>
