Named for St. Brigid of Ireland, one of the patron saints of Ireland. Her feast day falls on February 1st, which was also known as Imbolc in ancient times and symbolized the beginning of Spring. It still does! Brigid means “strength” or “exalted one” in Irish Gaelic, and was the name of the ancient Irish goddess of fire. St. Brigid, the daughter of a pagan chieftain and a Christian serving woman, founded many monasteries during her lifetime. Once, when asking a chief for land to build a monastery, he jokingly said he would give her the amount of land her cloak would cover. Miraculously, when spread out fully, the cloak ended up covering many acres of land. The chief, astounded, gave her the land.
