From the government of Ireland website, Ireland in Japan:
"Brigid was a trailblazing Irish woman and is the only female patron saint of Ireland. She is also the patron saint of fire, water, healers, poets, blacksmiths, babies, midwives, beer, livestock, fugitives, boatmen, farmers and the arrival of spring…”
“...To share the story of Brigid, Irish illustrator Alan Dunne, working with the Embassy of Ireland in Tokyo, has created a manga-style graphic short of the story of St Brigid.”
