medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Of course there is the Brigid relationship- Brigid distracted the crowd by jumping into a field and putting a harrow on her head lighting its tips and dancing around. The crowd parted to look at her and the holy family made it through to the temple. An early story. Mary then said to Brigid that she would let Brigid have her day before Mary's day therefore brigids day is feb 1 and marys feb 2-= the purification. This facet of Brigid is that caused by the cult of the virgin mary and has grown quite a bit here and there following.
