Thanks for once again teaching me more about the Irish and their culture!
St Brigid was born in County Louth in a quiet village named “Faughart” set upon a hill over looking Dundalk Bay about the year 454 A.D.
There is a shrine dedicated to her at the location http://www.lookaroundireland.com/louth/brigid.php
a hymn to Saint Bridgid and more about her at Music Road, too
