Brat Bhríde Slate Plaque – A Sacred Space for Brigid’s Blessing
Honour one of Ireland’s most cherished traditions with our Handcrafted Brat Bhríde Slate Plaque. This beautiful, weather-resistant piece is designed to be placed outside your home on the eve of St Brigid’s Day (31st January), providing a dedicated place to lay your "Brat" (ribbon or cloth) to receive the Saint’s blessing.
In Irish folklore, St Brigid travels the land on the eve of her feast day. It is said that any cloth left out for her to touch will be imbued with her powers of healing, protection, and strength for the year ahead.
Tradition Meets Modern Craftsmanship
Vibrant UV Printing: Featuring high-definition UV printing, the design is crisp, colourful, and specially treated to remain durable against the elements.
Natural Slate Finish: Each plaque is made from authentic slate, providing a heavy, high-quality feel that marks your home as a place of welcome and tradition.
The Ritual of Protection: Use this plaque to lay out your ribbons or scarves for family, friends, or even pets, ensuring they are touched by the "Fiery Arrow" of Kildare.
An Authentic Irish Gift: A thoughtful housewarming gift or a unique keepsake for those who value Irish heritage and the "Old Ways."
Locally Handcrafted: Designed and finished with care in our Wexford studio by the Duffy & Porter team.
Designed in our Wexford studio by Maria, a Dunleer (Co. Louth) native. This piece brings together her childhood roots in Brigid’s home county with her passion for modern Irish craftsmanship.
How to Use Your Plaque
On the evening of 31st January, place your Brat Bhríde Plaque near your doorstep, on a windowsill, or on a garden wall. Lay a piece of fabric or a ribbon upon it. As the morning dew falls and Brigid passes by, your cloth becomes a "Brat Bhríde," traditionally kept throughout the year to bring comfort, healing, and protection to the wearer.
