Saint Bridget

Saints are so important to the irish as because of the penal laws, is because they couldn't always celebrate their mass in community. So god and mary, the saints became very intimate companions. When the eng overlords wanted to crush the indigenous culture, which was catholic also, they said, you cannot do this. It's like the scottish people couldn't wear kilts and play the bagpipes,. i think the harp in ireland was suddenly not ok, right?
