St. Brigid’s Well, Liscannor
Interestingly, the pilgrimage day for this site is not February 1, St. Brigid’s feast day (Imbolc in the Celtic calendar), but instead falls on another significant pre-Christian holiday called Lughnasa, the first Sunday in August. Coincidences of the calendar of this type are remarkable because often in the myths surrounding these wells direct connections are made to their previous Druidic affiliations. In the many versions of The Lives of the Saints, mostly written before the thirteenth century, there are stories associated with the creation of wells where the patron saint “overcame and displaced the druids who previously had been in charge of the wells”.
