Piseoga na Breithe

Máire Bhreathnach looks at the superstitions of our ancestors, beginning with superstitions surrounding birth and youth. Why do we put a coin in a baby's cradle?

Sa tsraith 3 chlár seo, cíorann Máire Bhreathnach piseoga ár muintir agus sa chéad chlár amharcann muid ar Phiseoga na Breithe. An bhfuil lorg de phiseoga an tseansaoil in úsáid againn sa lá atá inniu ann, nó an i gcuimhne na ndaoine amháin atá siad lé fáil? Bí linn chun a fháil amach cad chuige a gcuirtí bonn i gcliabhán na leanaí an chéad uair a gcasadh siad ort agus cad chuige ar fhág ár sinsear a gcuid leanaí ar an trá d'aon turas sa dóigh is go sciobfadh na maidhmeanna iad. Léirithe ag Treasa Bhreathnach.

In this 3 part series, Máire Bhreathnach looks at the superstitions of our ancestors. In this first programme, we examine the superstitions surrounding birth and youth. Are remnants of the superstitions of our past in use today, or are they only alive in the memories of the people? Join us to find out why we put a coin in a baby's cradle on first meeting them and why our ancestors left babies on the beach in the knowledge that the waves would steal them away. Produced by Treasa Bhreathnach.
