Saint Brigid Died On This Day In 525

St Brigid may have been born in Offaly. One tradition tells us that her mother was a slave, but her princly father acknowledged her and a foster mother raised her. She gave her father's property and food to the poor. She was taught to read and write and learned the crafts needed to be a good wife of those times. Still, she turned away her many suitors and dedicated her life to Christ.
