Brigid 1500 - The Code of St. Brigid
In this talk, historian and travel writer Eoghan Corry will speak on The St. Brigid Code.
Eoghan will look at the iconography of Brigid through the centuries and discuss his travels around the world where the saint is commemorated — including Lumiere near Lisbon where relics of Brigid are kept.
In addition to referencing and comparing the many biographies of a saint who possibly eclipsed St Patrick in her time, he will also look at how Brigid has been viewed in the much more recent 20th century
