She has blessed me greatly, and inspired me in so many ways. <br />I was so interested in your comment about your three year-old feeling a sadness regarding the artwork. I also have a three year-old and am at the moment creating a little movie about St. Brigid. In it I've included two illustrations of St Brigid from the book. Whenever he sees the movie, which he loves, because pictures of his sister are there, and of him as a baby, and because he loves the music... whenever he comes to the clips of St. Brigid he always comments, "There's the sad girl, mama..."<br /><br />Part of iconography bears a bit sadness, of sacrifice and often martyrdom. I'm glad he notices this sadness; it will give us many opportunities for discussion as he gets older, and it certainly sets it apart from what one typically sees... Anyway, all very interesting! <br /><br />Blessings, to you, Emma. May you reflect the light and love that St. Brigid had for Christ and those in her midst!Jane G Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604599012397877776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6212550248931823866.post-23903929885200558922009-07-23T22:26:30.814-04:002009-07-23T22:26:30.814-04:00Hey Emma,

I hadn't heard about it before, but I love St. Brigid (I'm part-Irish, and she is one of the saints honored in our home), and am always looking for child-friendly books and projects to share the saints with my kids.Bethany Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002485534563054176noreply@blogger.com
