April 2 Bronach of Glen Seichis [unknown]

Thommy and John

good morning
i love you

Bronach is found in the martyrologies of Tallaght and Donegal - so she must have been around making a big difference sometime in our irish heritage.... look around Rostrevor, County Down....

a virgin. a virtuous woman who gave herself to God first and last. but not only, of course.

Saint Bronach's Bell.... an invisible bell that rang in Glen-Seichis, today its Kilbroyey, churchyard. of course the irish heard it and responded to it properly..
then, in 1885, a storm ripped down an old oak tree, a druid's tree maybe, but that's just my own addition to the legend, and in the branches was found a 6th c. bell...

the bell and st bronach's cross can be found in the parish at rostrevor....

go look for yourself, put your hand on the bell, caress the cross, ... join Thomas in becoming a better believer...

i love you
dad.
