2006 © Krewe of St. Brigit Tampa, Florida - Gasparilla Parade Developed by MDesign Media |
About Us Our beautiful crest was designed by Debra
Jo Radke. Do you know the symbolism behind the pictures?
|
 In ancient times Bhrigid was synonymous with “Goddess”. Brigit is considered the Triple Goddess; hence the triangular shapes in our crest. She embodies the Maiden for purity & innocence the Mother for comfort & fruitfulness, and the Crone for wisdom & healing.  The plaited rushes are created on St. Brigit Day which is February 1, and placed over the threshold. |
