Revelations: Book I (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798869275028)

St. Bridget of Sweden was one of the earliest author of Swedish literature, and sits among the various mystics in the history of the Catholic Church. Born to a wealthy family, she was given in marriage to a pious nobleman, with whom she raised eight children, including the future St. Catherine of Sweden. When her husband died, Bridget founded an order of nuns, commonly called the Bridgettines. From her teenage years, St. Bridget also received numerous visions of Christ and Our Lady, including intimate details of Our Lady's early life, the family of Christ in Nazareth, and the events of His passion and death. These revelations were recorded and published into various volumes which have survived the centuries.
