medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Hello,
A friend of mine is looking for information about St. Bridget / Bride.
He'd like to know:
- how common it would have been to identify her with SCOTLAND instead
of Ireland
- how common an association with milk, cattle, or distribution of food would be
(I suspect this is pretty standard, myself!)
- whether she is commonly associated with other saints, and if so, which (the Virgin Mary?
Barbara?)
He is dealing with sources from the late Middle Ages to the c. 1650.
Thanks in advance,
Meg
