Étaín is a character from Irish mythology with an extraordinary life story. Her immense physical and spiritual beauty enthralled a member of the fairy folk and made her the heroine of the tale ‘The Wooing of Etain’.

John Duncan, "St Bride," 1913 "This is one of the outstanding creations of the Celtic revival movement which had begun during the last decade of the 19th century in Scotland. Popularly known as the foster mother of Christ, the Irish saint Bride is shown being carried by angels across the Hebridian sea to Bethlehem to witness the nativity of Christ."

Aine is often remembered as a Celtic goddess of love. But she was also a deity of wealth, sovereignty, and the summer. Her sensitive and joyful personality brought her many followers in the Celtic world. The heart of her cult was located in Limerick, Ireland, though her fame spread like the sun’s rays over many other regions.
