Irish Thought for July 11...

The Famous and the Great

St. Brigid

or Mary of the Gael (452 - 524):  One of three patron saints of Ireland.  Legend holds that everything she touched increased in quanity or quality, whether the sheep she tended or food for the poor, but many believe she was an invention of the Catholic Church used to convert pagans to Christianity.
