Derry Girls star Siobhan McSweeney is set to front a new documentary about her quest to find St Brigid.
Finding Brigid will see the actress – who played Sister Michael in the hit Channel 4 show – go in search of the meaning of the woman behind the holiday, which falls on February 5.
1500 years after Brigid’s death, McSweeney unravels the tangled threads of fact and folklore to reveal the truth about this elusive goddess, woman and saint, and asks why, in an increasingly secular and diverse Ireland, Brigid's popularity appears to be on the rise.
