Reference: M-00331
Critical Breton title: Nouel Berc’hed
Critical French title: Le Noël de Brigitte
Critical English title: The Christmas of Brigitte
Summary:
Chantons Noël, Noël; Jésus est né, chantons Noël.
Marie et Joseph vont par le pays et, à Bethléem, cherchent logis. – « Dans cette maison, on n’héberge que princes et barons. » – « Ma mère, ma mère, logez Marie. » – « Cours après eux et mets-la dans l’écurie. »
Plus tard, Joseph demande de l’aide pour accoucher Marie. – « Dans cette maison il n’y a de fille, sinon Brigitte qui n’a ni bras ni yeux. »
Afin de pouvoir aider la Vierge, Brigitte retrouve bras et yeux.
Themes: Miracles, apparitions ;
Christmas songs
Note:
D. Laurent et M. Duval ont montré les rapports à établir entre Brigitte et la déesse irlandaise Brigite, ainsi que la communauté de traditions la concernant tant en Irlande qu’en Écosse ou en Bretagne.
