Sobre IBD

Christmas in Cork is a richly woven journey through the customs, superstitions, memories, and magic that shaped the season in Ireland’s southernmost county. From candlelit windowsills and windswept farmhouses to bustling market towns, this book brings together forgotten traditions, local lore, and lived experiences passed down through generations.Drawing on folklore archives, oral histories, and the author’s family on a hillside watched over by the Fastnet Light, these chapters explore how faith, hardship, community, and small acts of kindness shaped Christmas for the people of Cork. Here are tales of mummers and midnight Mass, butter churn charms and ghostly warnings, storms that cut valleys off from the world, and the quiet resilience of families who kept hope burning through the darkest nights. At once intimate and evocative, Christmas in Cork is a tribute to place, memory, and the enduring power of light in winter. It invites readers to step inside a world where a simple candle in the window could guide the lost home - and where the warmth of community was the greatest gift of all.

What is more, each generation adds its o...
