BrigidBrigid (Brigit or Bride) was a celtic goddess of healing, childborth, smithcraft and the heart, and was linked with milk and cows. St. Brigid of Kildare was also linked with milk and cows, and the beginning of spring. She had a sacred eternal flame tended by nuns from Kildare (Ireland). Tradition has it that she was praying for a dying pagan, and plaited some rushes into a cross shape. The wickerwork St. Brigid's Cross is still seen over Irish doorways as a sign of protection. |
