[QUOTE="DustyRoundup, post: 190353, member: 2055"] Last night, I was reading ,for the 2nd time, a book called ,, "How the Irish saved Civilization, by Thomas Cahill. (Excellent read, especially if you are Irish) Anyhow, (and some of you probably already know this) Kildare , means " Church of the Oak",, where a female convert of St Patrick, ruled as "High abbess of an immense double monastery" (took in men and women, which wasnt normal at the time either) Her Monastery began as a sort of green martyrdom under a huge oak, the sacred tree of the druids,, thus Kildare ,, Church of the Oak. Her name was Brigid of Kildare. All this at a time when Roman Catholics would not have been very pleased with a woman holding this position. So,,, I shall add to my list of Peterson Must Haves,,a model from the Kildare Line. To honor "Brigid of Kildare", a convert of St. Patrick. I cant help it, I'm Irish. :roll: :D [/QUOTE]
