The Bones of Brigid, by independent producer Orla Riordan, follows the story of St. Brigid's bones from Kildare to Downpatrick and across Europe to the small parish of Lumier in Portugal
Kfm will be airing a new documentary by independent producer Orla Riordan on Monday, 2nd of February at 6pm, as part of the St. Brigid's Bank Holiday Weekend Celebrations.
The Bones of Brigid follows the story of St. Brigid's bones from Kildare to Downpatrick and across Europe to the small parish of Lumier in Portugal.
A year in the making, the documentary is a "labour of love" that features multiple interviews from passionate storytellers of one of Ireland's earliest recorded saints.
The idea for the hour-long documentary stemmed from conversations had during the Covid-19 pandemic, in which talks were happening regarding an extra bank holiday in February.
Speaking on this morning's Kildare Today, Ms Riordan said that the question of "what is the real meaning of looking out for each other" was at the forefront of people's mind during lockdown, and [St. Brigid's] message "just seemed to shine through the whole thing".
