St Bride's Day

St Bride's Day
(1 February)
   St Bride or Bridget is much more popular in Ireland and the Isle of Man than in England, but one belief reported from the Midlands maintains that dew collected from plants on this day is particularly good for the complexion (compare *May dew).
   ■ Wright and Lones, 1938: ii. 117.
