In Borden's "Miniature Lives of the Saints" there is the legend relating how St. Brigid came to be called "the Mary of Erin". The expression "Mary of Erin" would lead people to think the nun of Kildare fills for her country the office of patronage, mediatorship and mothership which Mary occupies for the rest of nations. This is false. :: X-3-l A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
