Sunrise in Kilteevan and over Sliabh Bán was a spectacular and welcome sight this morning after many dull, dark and rainy days.

Nollaig na mBan—translated from Irish as "Women's Christmas” is more commonly known as "Little Christmas or the Feast of the Epiphany (January 6th) marks the end of the 12 Days of Christmas.

On this day, tradition in Ireland is for the women to get together and enjoy their own Christmas.  Although the tradition of Nollaig na mBan is slowly dying out in many parts of Ireland , the tradition is still strong along the South West coast.
