Book excerpt: Saint Bridget of Sweden was a mystic and saint, and founder of the Bridgettines after the death of her husband of twenty years. As a child, she had already believed herself to have visions; these became more frequent, and her records of these "Celestial revelations" obtained a great vogue during the Middle Ages. Her visions of the Nativity of Jesus had a great influence on depictions of the Nativity of Jesus in art. This edition contains all that is known today of the visions and prophecies of Saint Brigdet and most of her prayers.
