Translating to ‘Women’s Christmas’, Nollaig na mBan falls on the 6th of January and for many Irish households it marks the official end of the Christmas season. With women traditionally taking on most of the housework in the past, this was the day that men would take over and allow the women to rest. In the modern day, women generally meet up together and go out to acknowledge the role and accomplishments of women in our society.
