19 St. Brigitas Day
20 A poor slave presented once a baby to the poet staying at that time in a palace. Such gift was not necessary to the poet, therefore he has sold the girl to the druid. The girl has given birth to charming daughter Brigit. All childhood Brigit has spent at the druid.
21 After some time she returned to the father but not for a long time. Why? Because she was excessively generous. She could give a raincoat to a cold poor person, or the footwear to a beggar, and once she gave a leprous a fathers sword with jewels. The father was very dissatisfied that she took out all from the palace and gave to people, therefore he decided to get rid of Brigitta.He brought the daughter to the king to her groom, but he liked Brigittas generosity and kindness. He said: «Her merits in front of God are more than ours».
22 Once, being a 16-year-old girl, Brigit heard St. Patrick's sermon which was based the first Christian school in Ireland in 459 year, and she accepted Christianity. In a consequence he founded some monasteries. The first of them was based about 480 in Cill-Dara. Cill-Dara it is translated as the Oak Church, as there was an oak in this place.
23 Halloween In Ireland the same holiday was called "Samhein", or "La Samon" that meant "the Sun Holiday". Its sacred fire was lighted and the various ceremonies anyhow connected with a fire were carried out. During an epoch of druids Power, for the period of celebrating all fires, that had been lighted by druids were extinguished. For owners of houses the special kind of a payment for the sacred fire burning on their altars was established. In Ancient Ireland druids brought to deities of a victim, burning them in wattled cages. People had to extinguish all other fires and fires to light them then from the sacrificial fire..
