St. Agatha’s Feast Day is February 5. She was a young Christian who refused to marry or break her vow of chastity. The young suitor Quintian had her arrested, imprisoned and tortured in the hope of changing her mind and she responded “Jesus Christ, Lord of all, you see my heart, you know my desires. Possess all that I am. I am your sheep: make me worthy to overcome the devil.”

February 1st is the Feast Day of St Brigid of Ireland
St. Brigid was born daughter to a chieftain and a slave woman, and brought up by a druid. Her life was marked by miracles from an early age which impressed the king of Leinster, who granted her her freedom. She became a religious and founded a monastery over the fires of a pagan shrine at Kildare, and developed into a cathedral city of culture and learning. She and her friend St. Patrick, are regarded as the Pillars of the Irish people. (from SaintNook)
