Saint Bridget of Sweden

There is a tradition in Estonia that recent graduates give classes at their former schools after a few years of leaving the school. I decided to talk about Saint Bridget of Sweden. She is considered by some to be the first feminist of Europe. After her husband's death she travelled to Rome where she succeeded in founding the Bridgettine order. In 1412 a Bridgettine cloister and church was opened in the vicinity of Tallinn. When I was a kid growing up in Pirita (the name derives from Bridget), the ruins of this place, was one of my favourite playgrounds, so it was nice to revisit this memory.
