Irish women should follow St. Brigid, not just St. Patrick

So, now you will use Brigid to destroy the Catholic Church. Hillary and the bois are clever but not clever enough to turn Brigid into a supporter of abortion and gay rights.

Good article, but should have been updated and expanded since it first appeared. There are lots of pretty traditions and folklore connected with St Bridget. The sad part is that the Irish no longer know them. For a culture to live it needs to be transferred from parents to child. If the parents don't know anything, there's nothing to transfer. That's what has happened in Ireland. I have always thought the Irish government should stop the waste of time of teaching Irish in the high schools, and instead devise an Irish culture curriculum, which would include things like St Bridget and the myths and lore associated with her.

For those of you who know nothing about St. Brigid, that's a burning torch she's holding. There is an eternal flame at her well, from what I have read. She acted with kindness and compassion to all. A good role model for everyone to follow. I think the picture is taken from St. Brigid's Well in Kildare. It looks beautiful. Sláinte!

If we do celebrate it, make it in July when Weather is a Little Less Blustery!! :)

cool looking statue and site in photo; where would it be?

Nice ice cream cone, or whatever, she has in her hand in the photo.
