A Dictionary of Saintly Women/Brigid (20)
St Brigid (20) the Younger, of Sweden, V. † 1398. Granddaughter of St. Brigid of Sweden, being the daughter of her son Charles, who died on pilgrimage. The younger Brigid was brought up in the convent of Vreta, on the Wettern Lake. When she was seven, her grandmother appeared to her and predicted her death. She made her last confession, and, although it was January, she begged persistently for strawberries, and, by a revelation from St. Brigid, some were found under the snow, on a hill near the convent. She was buried at her grandmother’s monastery of Wadstein. Vastovius, Vitis Aquiloniæ.
