Saint Bride

Iain Macdonald

Published by Dufour Editions in 1992-01-01

An appealing introductory series in small format, with colorful, attractive covers and easy-to-read texts illustrated with Celtic symbols. These accounts of the lives and writings of four Celtic saints each contain a brief introduction giving historical and ecclesiastical background followed by selections from the original sources. St. Bride or Brigid is the most potent feminine symbol of the spirit of the Celtic Church of the 5th and 6th centuries. Of noble birth, she dedicated herself to the religious life. Her simplicity and closeness to the people earned her such devotion that a wealth of legends attached to her name.
