Description
Saint Bride 1913, John Duncan (1866–1945) John Duncan (1866–1945) was a Scottish Symbolist painter. His work is known for referencing Arthurian legends, Celtic folklore, and other mythological subjects.Saint Bride, as she is usually referred to in Scotland, is also known as Saint Bridgit, Saint Brigid of Kildare, or Brigid of Ireland. She probably lived from about 451 to about 525. She was an Irish nun and abbess who became one of the patron saints of Ireland and had many Scottish churches dedicated to her. Her feast day is 1 February, or Candlemas. The wider picture in Scotland at the time is set out in our Historical Timeline. Tradition has it that Brigid, as she is normally known in Ireland, was born at Faughart near Dundalk in Ireland. According to early biographies, Brigid's father was Dubhthach, a pagan chieftain of Leinster. Her mother was Brocca, a Christian slave who had been baptised by Saint Patrick: accounts differ as to whether Brocca was originally a Pict or an Eastern European.
