Overview

The common image of Brighid is one of a one-dimensional saint of quaint crosses and rural customs. In this programme, we see a completely different Brighid: a god, a female trinity who pre-dates Christianity and will survive it, a bountiful and generous god who loved life and lived it to the full.
