( Her cloak on a sunbeam )

Today I start an other spread about Brigid of Kildare, Goddess and saint.

Once, when Brigid was wandered far from home to feed her flock in a wet season, she was caught by a rain shower that made her soaking wet. When she arrived home in a soaking cloak she mistook a sunbeam for a pole, and threw her cloak over it in order to dry. Amazingly, the ( Read more... )
