The Dinner Party - Saint Bridget

The Dinner Party created by Judy Chicago, was designed to honor the history of woman in Western Civilization.  The plate below was created for Saint Bridget of Ireland.  Saint Bridget was responsible for starting convents and monasteries throughout Ireland.  I like this particular plate because of the design and the vivid colors used.
