Author: The Rev. J.A. Knowles
Hard cover, very good condition. First edition (1907). Rare find.
St Brigid: Patroness of Ireland by the Rev. J. A. Knowles presents a devotional and biographical account of Saint Brigid of Kildare, one of Ireland’s most venerated saints. Drawing on early Christian tradition and legend, the book traces Brigid’s noble birth, her consecration to religious life, and her founding of the monastery at Kildare, which became a centre of faith, learning, and charity. Knowles emphasizes Brigid’s virtues of humility, generosity, and compassion, recounting well-known miracles that illustrate her care for the poor and her deep spiritual authority. Written in a reverent and accessible style, the work aims not only to recount Brigid’s life and influence but also to inspire readers by presenting her as a model of Christian holiness and a lasting symbol of Ireland’s religious heritage.
