continued from page one
mainland. Though ideal for
monastic life of prayer and
contemplation, isolated from
political conflict, the island did
not fulfill Columcille’s mission.
He and his monks continued
to risk life and limb to take the
Christian message to parts of
Scotland and England, where
Columcille is reputed to have
established many monasteries.
Before the premier
production, the actors will
again bring St. Brigid to life on
stage.
In Tom M o rg an ’s
book Saints the reader learns
that Brigid was a robust and
energetic young woman who
contributed significantly to the
spread o f C hristianity in
Ireland. Daughter of a pagan
fath er and his C h ristian
servant, Brigid has been
described by some as a “nun-
cowgirl” who responded to
her mother’s oppressed state
by spending most of her adult
life gathering women from all
over Ireland into protected
monastic communities.
Brigid, the cowherd,
butter-chumer, baker, corn
reaper, and m uch m ore,
became legendary for her
abilities to multiply food:
turning bath water into beer
and m ilk in g her cow s
successfully three times a day.
Devotion to Brigid
spread throughout Flanders,
Portugal, France, Italy, and
Wales. She was buried in
Downpatrick, but a fire around
her shrine at Kildare was kept
burning for centuries, fueled
by devoted members of her
community of nuns. A ring of
bushes through which no man
was allowed to pass encircled
the fire. Interest in Brigid seems
to have increased with the
interest in contem porary
feminist and environmental
issues.
The March 11 evening
will begin at 7:30. Though the
event is free to the public and
the St. Patrick’s Altar Society
will again provide refreshments
during the in term issio n ,
donations will be accepted, to
be given to a charity.
