Everything that St. Brigid would ask of God was granted her at once. For this was her desire: to satisfy the poor, to expel every hardship, to spare every miserable man. So strong was the respect and reverence for this holy lady that she became the patroness of parishes, towns, and counties, not only in Ireland, but all across Europe. During the age of Chivalry, she was so revered as a model for women of every age, that gentlemen, knights, and nobles began the custom of calling their sweethearts, their Brides-----a custom that has come down to this very day Not only was St. Bridget a patroness of students, but she also founded a school of art, including metal work and illumination . St. Brigid died leaving a cathedral city and school that became famous all over Europe.
