This post links to an excellent talk about the historical woman, Saint Brigit, and her ever-changing cult, given as part of the year of events in Ireland and abroad celebrating and investigating Brigit of Ireland, Brigid 1500.
From the History Ireland webpage:
"Recorded on the 1 Feb 2024, at the National Library of Ireland, Kildare Street.
"Join History Ireland editor, Tommy Graham, to mark the 1500th anniversary of the passing of St Brigit, Ireland’s most notable female saint. But who was she?—a figure of history or of myth and legend?—a goddess and/or a feminist icon? With Edel Breathnach, Elva Johnston, Bairbre Ní Fhloinn and Niamh Wycherley.
"This Hedge School is supported by the National Library of Ireland."
