Religious festival brings attention about holy woman (6)
I believe the answer is:
easter
'religious festival' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'attention about holy woman' is the wordplay.
'attention' becomes 'ear' (having someone's ear is having their attention).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'holy woman' becomes 'ste' (short for sainte, French feminine form of saint).
'ear' enclosing 'ste' is 'EASTER'.
'brings' is the link.
(Other definitions for easter that I've seen before include "Christian festival of celebration" , "Sort of tide" , "Egg-rolling time" , "A steer (anag.)" , "Monday of 1916 Rising" .)
