The Flame That Never Went Out
The Flame That Never Went Out, Because Some Saints Refuse to Be Forgotten More than fifteen centuries have passed since Brigid of Kildare drew her last breath at the monastery she built from nothing. The sacred flame her sisters tended was extinguished by force, and yet it never truly died.
Read the full description
It lived in the prayers whispered over Brigid's crosses plaited from rushes, in the holy wells bearing her name, in the hands of Irish mothers who pressed her image into the hearts of their children long after the language itself had nearly been taken from them. In 1993, the flame was physically re-lit. This book is the story of everything that happened in between, and everything it still means for us today. Whether you keep a Brigid's Cross above your door, light a candle on her feast day, or simply feel a pull toward this luminous woman that you have never quite been able to explain, The Flame That Never Went Out was written for you. This is not a dry hagiography. It is an intimate, soul-nourishing journey into the death, the legacy, and the living, breathing teaching of Naomh Bríd, patron of Ireland, mother of the Celtic Church, and one of the most quietly radical figures in the entire history of Christian faith.
