    Interesting to read about the involvement with St. Brigid and the
    Brooch. Nice mix of feminism and class warfare. You go, lady
    Bridgid! 

    Brigid was (and is)a maiden Goddess worshipped by the druids, and
    some sources indicate that she was only "sainted" in order for the
    Church to co-opt her worship after they found that they could not
    eradicate it by other measures- see here-
