  1. St Brigid in Killarney

    Share Share Post
    When St. Brigid came to Killarney her cloak was torn and she needed a pin. She asked a woman in Martyrs' Hill for a pin and she had none. She asked several people in the street and she did not get any. When she came to High Street she asked a blacksmith who had just come to town. She got the pin from him and the blessing she left Killarney was - "That the natives may perish and the strangers may flourish."
