On Left: Saint Brigid of Kildare standing in front of an oak tree. St. Brigid asked the King of Leinster for land to build a convent. The king refused. She asked him again and this time he said he would give her as much land as her small cloak could cover. Brigid spread her cloak on the ground and it grew covering many acres of land. Brigid’s miracle of the cloak is signified by the red cloak she stands on in the mosaic.

On Right: Saint Patrick. This mosaic also depicts the father, represented by the sun, the son, represented by the baby Jesus St Patrick is holding and the Holy Spirit depicted by the flame above St. Patricks  head.
