A wonderful book to read for this feast, Brigid's Cloak by Bryce Milligan, is a WONDERFUL story that blends a touch of the pagan with some good strong Christian faith. Milligan's story is fascinating and the illustrations by Helen Cann are glorious.
St. Brigid (spelled the Irish way!) is one of String Bean's patron saints. After reading this book last year, I made her a cloak -- beautiful royal blue poplin for the outside and a lovely gold-outlined star cotton for the lining. She loves this cloak and wears it often for dress-up.
