Saint Brigid - A Holy Cross Window Saint
February 01, 2018
Brigid is part of the Irish Trinity of saints along with Patrick and Columcille. As with many of the ancient Irish saints, her life story is probably part legend, part history.
Baptized by St. Patrick and witness to his preaching, Brigid dedicated her life to Christ and eventually founded the first dual monastery in Ireland with an enclosure for men and an enclosure for women.
Many miracles and healings are attributed to her intercession. She is another example of the leadership role woman played in the Irish Church.
