Setting
The small, candlelit oratory attached to Kildare Abbey, where Saint Brigid lies on a simple wooden bier. The stone walls are rough-hewn, with a single high window allowing the last light of the winter evening to filter in. The space is intimate, barely large enough for the gathered nuns and monks.

TNGF
SELECTED
Saint Brigid
primary
A frail elderly woman in her 70s with silver-white hair, deeply lined face, and pale, translucent skin. Her hands, folded over her chest, are gnarled from decades of manual labor but also bear callouses from holding a quill. Despite her weakened state, her light blue eyes remain clear and focused.
Nun Darlughdacha
primary
A woman in her early 40s, with a sturdy but graceful frame from years of labor and prayer. Her face is weathered yet kind, with deep-set blue eyes that reflect wisdom and sorrow. Her hands, clasped in prayer, bear calluses from scribal work and manual labor. Dark auburn hair is barely visible beneath her veil, streaked with the first signs of gray.
Monk Conleth
secondary
A wiry man in his late 50s with deeply lined features from years of metalwork and fasting. His hands bear the calluses and small burns of a craftsman, while his posture retains the disciplined bearing of a spiritual leader. Thin grey hair is tonsured in the Celtic monastic style, framing sharp blue eyes that miss little.
Young Novice
secondary
A slender girl of about fifteen years with pale, freckled skin and watery blue eyes. Her unbound auburn hair falls in loose waves, not yet shorn for her novitiate. Her hands are rough from recent farm work but delicate in structure.
Local Farmer
background
A weather-beaten man in his late 40s, with broad shoulders and calloused hands from years of labor. His face is lined from sun and wind, with a short, untrimmed beard streaked with gray. His posture is humble but strong, carrying the quiet dignity of one who lives close to the land.
Dialog
Saint Brigid
Darlughdacha, my lamb... tend to the sisters as you would tender shoots in spring... the Christ shall make them flourish.
Nun Darlughdacha
As you have taught us, Mother. The rule shall stand as the oak stands - unshaken by storm.
Saint Brigid
The blessing... of Patrick and Columba... be upon this place... when I am gone to the heavenly feast.
Nun Darlughdacha
Sisters, bring more candles. The Light of Leinster must not depart in darkness.
Saint Brigid
Ah... I see the angels gathering like sheep at twilight...
Nun Darlughdacha
Let us sing the 'Sancti Venite' now, that our Mother may hear Christ's welcome in our voices.
Saint Brigid
Benedicite... omnia opera Domini...
