Swans of Lir - Waterford Walls

‘Swans of Lir’ - Waterford, Ireland as part of @waterfordwalls - Inspired by ‘the Children of Lir’ a famous Irish legend where the children of Tuatha Dé Dannann King Lir, are turned in to swans for 900 years by their jealous stepmother Aoife. I found this story particularly interesting as it’s one of the few where you’ll find Celtic mythology, paganism and Christianity exist within the same realm.
