Our venerable Mother '''Brigid of Kildare''' or Brigid of Ireland (Brigit, Bridget, Bridgit, Bríd, or Bride; Irish: Naomh Bhríde) (c. 451-525) was an Irish [[nun]], [[abbess]], and founder of several [[convent]]s. St. Brigid's [[feast day]] is [[February 1]], and with St. [[Patrick of Ireland]] ([[March 17]]) and St. [[Columba of Iona]] ([[June 9]]), is one of the three [[patron saint]]s of Ireland. The three are buried together in Downpatrick in County Down, deep within the famous Hill of Down.
