Happy Sheelah's Day. This feast, largely no longer celebrated in Ireland, commemorates either St Patrick's wife or mother, who probably didn't exist. So let's celebrate a similarly-named mysterious figure today instead: the sheela na gig!

A stone carving in a church depicting a bald figure who kind of resembles ET with a large, exaggerated vulva. The figure is holding the vulva open with their hands.
