Description
St. Brigid, Her Definitive Life, is fascinating portrayal of the formative years of St Brigid, nun, theologian and founder of a Nunnery and subsequently of a joint monastery.
By acclaim, St Brigid as Abbess was superior to Abbott. Her belief was that all humanity and nature belonged to God who gifted it to each generation to use in equally shared harmony.
She immersed herself in her Irish culture using the meitheal system with everyone coming together to tackle all tasks leading to a self -sufficient society. She was a teacher, goldsmith, calligrapher, herbalist, weaver and orator.
Lavishly illustrated throughout with a photographic survey and original art and maps. In this book you can travel through and enjoy a vast pictorial record of our historical sites.
This brilliantly researched book will make an important contribution to our appreciation of one of Ireland’s greatest saints and our Patroness.
St Brigid was a real woman with extraordinary talents.
