"Exalted one". The name of a Goddess in Irish mythology. She was the daughter of Dagda (the Allfather), and married to Bres (king of Fomorians), for whom she birthed a son, Ruadán.
Brigid has many roles: She is the Goddess of fertility, wisdom, inspiration, good health and the "Sacred Flame". She is sometimes pictured with fire for hair, or as three women standing together.
Many expect Brigid to be a beautiful redhead, but she was originally pictured with dark golden hair; one side of her face is ghoulish and ugly, and the other side is young and beautiful.
Other spellings or false spellings: Brigit, Brighid, Bridget, Bride(Scottish), Brighit...

Get the Brigid mug.A glistening fairy castle filled with unicorns, rainbows, flowers and maroon.
Whilst the school is religious enough to make the inhabitants cynics, it is populated mostly by atheists. Mess with Brigidine girls and you will be lost under a swarm of vicious, hormonal teenage girls.
However, whilst undoubtedly vicious, cynical and hormonal, Brigidine girls must disguise their extreme hotness under baggy kilts, else they would cause even more of Australia to become desert and push global warming to extreme scales.

HISTORY OF THE NAME SAINT
Saint Brigid was an Irish saint who is known for her generosity to the poor. St. Brigid is sometimes known as Bridey, Mary of Gaels and even as Biddy. St. Brigid was born near Dundalk to a pagan Gaelic chieftain named Dubtach (Duffy) and to a Christian slave mother named Brocessa, who was sold soon after Brigid's birth. She was baptized by St. Patrick with whom she became friends. She never forgot her mother and despite being forbidden to do so, she left her home, located her mom, negotiated her release and returned to her fathers house. To her dismay her father had arranged her marriage to a poet. Brigid had already vowed to remain celibate and to do God's work so once more, she left her home, this time forever. In 468 she and 7 other women she formed the 1st female monastic community in Ireland. They helped the poor and were attributed with many miracles. Despite having limited resources they never seemed to be without food or supplies for their good works. Where the modern town of Kildare now stands she founded a school of Art and a Monastery at Cill Dara. The most famous miracle associated with Brigid tells of her confrontation with an Irish chieftain. She asked him for some land so that she could build a monastic community. He replied that she could have whatever amount of land her cloak could cover. She took the cloak from her shoulders and cast it on the ground where it covered over 12 acres of the land which he willingly gave. The date of her death is February 1st, her feastday, which is still celebrated with the traditional creation of the St Brigid Cross, made from reeds. She is buried next to St Patrick in Downpatrick. (Sry it's so long)
