Cé go mbaineann saol Liteartha Bhride le Cúige Laighean ach go háirithe léiríonn na cúntais ón mbéaloideas go mbaineann a cultas leis an tír ar fad. Sa leabhar seo tugann an t-údar cuntas ar na deasghnátha agus na traidisiúin a bhaineann le Naomh Brid agus le ceiliúradh a féile.

Although in the written accounts of her life Saint Brigid is mainly associated with Leinster, oral tradition shows that the cult of Brigid was widespread throughout the country. In this book the author describes the customs and traditions associated with the saint and the celebration of her feast day.
